EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Year-end Fair at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, from the series Famous Places in the Eastern Capital (Toto Meisho), captures the vibrant energy and festive atmosphere of a traditional Japanese year-end fair held at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, during the Edo period (1603-1868). The color woodblock print, created around 1835/38, showcases the temple's grand red gate and intricately designed roofs, surrounded by a bustling crowd of people dressed in traditional attire. The rooftops of nearby buildings and the oban (large format) composition provide a scenic backdrop for the lively scene below. The fair, a popular entertainment event during the end of the year, attracted visitors from all walks of life, as depicted in the print by the diverse group of people gathered in the temple grounds. The fair offered a variety of games, food stalls, and religious activities, making it a fun and festive occasion for the community. Kinryuzan Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, is a significant Buddhist temple dedicated to the goddess Kannon, the deity of compassion. The temple's peaceful surroundings and religious significance add to the contrast between the lively fair and the serene temple grounds. This beautiful and intricately detailed print by Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Ichiryusai Hiroshige, is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The print is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its stunning depiction of a bygone era.
