EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "The Young Murasaki (Wakamurasaki)" from the series "Fifty-four Chapters of the Tale of Genji" (Genji monogatari gojuyonjo), created in 1852, showcases the enchanting beauty of a young girl dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The serene scene unfolds in a tranquil garden setting, where the girl, believed to represent Murasaki Shikibu, the renowned Heian Period author of the classic Japanese novel "The Tale of Genji," is depicted standing beside a fence adorned with vibrant blue flowers. The intricate details of her elegant kimono, with its delicate patterns and rich colors, are expertly captured through the art of color woodblock printing. The artist's skillful use of contrasting colors, such as the deep blue hues of the flowers and the girl's clothing against the earthy tones of the garden, adds depth and dimension to the composition. The print demonstrates the artistic school's mastery of the Oban format, which was popular during the Edo Period in Japan. This work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring influence of its literary and artistic traditions.
