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" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), showcasing the beauty and diversity of Japan's geography. The print depicts the serene landscape of Sarashina rice fields in Nagano Prefecture, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. The full moon rises majestically above Mount Kyodai, casting a gentle light on the undulating rice terraces. The green rice paddies, reflecting the lunar image, create a stunning contrast against the grey mountainside. The intricate details of the print are evident in the delicate brushstrokes and precise carving of the woodblocks. The cartouche at the bottom left corner bears the title and the artist's name, "Shinano, Sarashina tagoto no tsuki, Kyodaisan" (Shinano Province: The Moon Reflected in the Sarashina Rice Fields near Mount Kyodai). This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868). It is a beautiful representation of the harmony between nature and the passage of time, as well as a visual record of Japan's rich cultural heritage. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this exquisite piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic brilliance of Ando Hiroshige and the beauty of Japan's natural landscapes from the 19th century.
