EDITORS COMMENTS
Year-end Fair at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa," a captivating color woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige from the series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital" (Toto meisho), dates back to the 1830s. This exquisite work of art, created during the Edo period, showcases the bustling scene at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan, during New Year's Eve. The print depicts a crowded temple courtyard filled with men and women, dressed in traditional attire, gathered for the annual temple fair. The temple's impressive red and gold building exterior, adorned with intricate carvings and a towering roof, dominates the background. A cartouche at the top left corner provides the title and artist's name. The vibrant colors, particularly the pink hues of the temple buildings and the obi sashes worn by the women, add to the festive atmosphere. The print also features a man in the foreground, gazing intently at a rose, possibly a symbol of new beginnings and good fortune for the upcoming year. This stunning work of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Ando Hiroshige. It invites us to explore the history and traditions of the Eastern Capital during the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the people and their deep-rooted religious practices.
