EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Sagami Province: Entrance to the Caves at Enoshima (Sagami, Enoshima iwaya no kuchi)" is a stunning representation of the picturesque entrance to the caves at Enoshima Island, Japan, from the early 19th century. This breathtaking work of art is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue)" created in 1853. The print showcases the intriguing entrance to the caves, nestled between the eroded cliffs and the azure sea. The vibrant green color of the cliffs, contrasted against the deep blue of the sea, creates a striking visual effect that highlights the natural beauty of the location. The entrance to the caves is adorned with a cartouche, adding a touch of elegance and historical significance to the scene. Enoshima Island, located in the Sagami Province of Japan, has long been a popular destination for visitors due to its unique geographical features and rich cultural heritage. This print captures the essence of the island's allure, transporting viewers to a time when the world was still largely unexplored and the wonders of nature were celebrated. Hiroshige's mastery of the art of block printing is evident in the intricate details and delicate shading, which bring the scene to life. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period (1603-1868) and the enduring influence of Japanese art on the global stage. Today, this precious work of art is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
