EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Sagami River," dates back to the 1850s during the Edo period in Japan. This stunning artwork is part of the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which showcases the iconic mountain from various perspectives and aspects. The print depicts a tranquil scene along the Sagami River, located on the eastern coast of Honshu, Japan's largest island. The river's gentle flow is dotted with traditional fishing rafts, manned by local fisherfolk. The men, dressed in traditional attire, are focused on their craft, casting their nets and tending to their catch. Mount Fuji, the majestic and active volcano, can be seen in the background, its snow-capped peak rising above the reeds and the smoke from the fishermen's fires. The mountain's presence adds a sense of grandeur and serenity to the scene, emphasizing the harmony between nature and human life in rural Japan. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a testament to the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige. The use of traditional woodblock printing techniques adds to the artwork's cultural significance and makes it a valuable piece of Asian heritage art. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of rural life in Japan during the Edo period. The scene on the Sagami River is a reminder of the simple pleasures and the deep connection between people and their environment.
