EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "The Precincts of the Hachiman Shrine in Fukagawa (Fukagawa Hachiman no keidai)" from the series "Famous Places in Edo (Koto meisho)" showcases the serene and bustling atmosphere of the Hachiman Shrine in Fukagawa, Tokyo, Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The image, created around 1839/42, is a vibrant and intricately detailed color woodblock print, featuring the iconic oban size. The scene unfolds as a man and a woman, dressed in traditional attire, make their way through the entrance of the shrine, passing under the impressive torii gate. The gateway, adorned with intricate carvings and the vibrant color of green, stands as a symbol of Shintoism and the spiritual significance of the shrine. The shrine's grounds are filled with a sense of activity, as people of all ages and genders walk along the pathways, taking in the peaceful surroundings. The print's cartouche, located at the bottom left, provides the title and artist's name, "Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Utagawa Hiroshige." This stunning work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Tokugawa period. The print's rich colors and intricate details transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the heritage and culture of Edo Japan.
