EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Act XI Second Episode: Ronin Breaking into the Inner Building of Moronao's Castle, circa 1835-1839, is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," also known as "Kanadehon Chushingura." This iconic image portrays a pivotal moment in the Akō Vendetta, a famous tale of loyalty and revenge from Japanese literature. The print depicts a group of ronin, masterless samurai, preparing to break into Moronao's castle. The ronin, dressed in traditional armor and carrying weapons, are gathered at the base of a large, imposing castle entrance. The doors, adorned with intricate carvings, are slightly ajar, revealing a dimly lit interior. The ronin's determined expressions and focused gaze convey their unwavering resolve to carry out their mission of avenging their lord's honor. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Ichiyusai, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist who excelled in creating vivid and dynamic landscapes and genre scenes. His use of color and composition in this print effectively convey the drama and tension of the scene. The print is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of Asian art. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Japanese art and culture on the world.
