EDITORS COMMENTS
Shinano Province: The Moon Reflected in the Sarashina Rice Fields near Mount Kyodai" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1853. This work is part of Hiroshige's famous series, "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces." The print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Sarashina rice fields in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, as they are illuminated under the full moon. The scene is set against the backdrop of Mount Kyodai, a prominent hillside in the distance. The lush, green rice fields stretch out before us, their reflection shimmering in the tranquil moonlit waters. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the traditional Japanese houses and buildings nestled among the fields. Ando Hiroshige's masterful use of color is evident in this print, with the rich green of the fields contrasting beautifully against the grey tones of the buildings and the grey-blue hues of the night sky. The cartouche at the bottom right of the print provides the title and location of the scene, adding to its historical and cultural significance. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo Period in Japan, which placed great emphasis on the representation of natural landscapes and the passage of the seasons. It is a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life during this time, and continues to inspire awe and appreciation in viewers today. The "Shinano Province: The Moon Reflected in the Sarashina Rice Fields near Mount Kyodai" is a treasured piece of Asian art history, and can be found in many prestigious art institutions and galleries around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago.
