EDITORS COMMENTS
Spring Dawn in the New Yoshiwara" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, created around 1839-1842 as part of his famous series "Famous Places in Edo" (Edo meisho no uchi). This work of art depicts the entrance to the New Yoshiwara, a red-light district in Edo, Japan, during the spring season. The print showcases the beauty of the natural world as it transitions from winter to spring, with cherry blossoms in full bloom and trees beginning to leaf. The scene is bathed in the soft, ethereal light of dawn, with the grey tones of the early morning giving way to the vibrant colors of the blossoms. The cartouche at the top right of the print identifies the location as Shin Yoshiwara, and the time of day as haru akebono no zu, or "spring dawn." The print features a man and a woman, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, making their way through the entrance gateway of the district. The urban landscape of the district is depicted in intricate detail, with buildings, trees, and people all rendered with exquisite precision. The use of black and red color contrasts effectively against the predominantly grey and green tones, adding depth and texture to the image. Ando Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style is evident in the dynamic composition and the delicate brushwork used to create the intricate details of the scene. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and continues to be a source of inspiration for artists and art lovers around the world. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world as a testament to the artistic genius of Ando Hiroshige and the cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
