EDITORS COMMENTS
Suwa Bluff at Nippori" is a stunning color woodblock print from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" created by Ando Hiroshige in 1856. This work of art showcases the breathtaking scenery of Suwa Bluff at Nippori, located in present-day Tokyo, Japan. The print depicts the picturesque bluff overlooking Lake Suwa, with Mount Tsukuba and Mount Fuji in the background. The lake, a significant geographical feature in the Tokugawa period, is surrounded by lush greenery and dotted with boats, adding to the serene ambiance of the scene. The foreground is populated with people, some engaged in various activities, while others admire the stunning view. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, showcasing the artistic mastery of Hiroshige. The Suwa Bluff at Nippori was a popular destination during the Edo period due to its religious significance. The nearby Suwa Shrine, dedicated to the gods of water and agriculture, attracted pilgrims and tourists alike. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The Oban-sized print, with its meticulously carved blocks and exquisite coloring, is a prime example of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, which focused on the depiction of everyday life and natural beauty. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic genius of Ando Hiroshige and the cultural significance of the Edo period in Japanese history.
