EDITORS COMMENTS
Aki Province: Festival at the Itsukushima Shrine" is a stunning 19th-century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, from his series "Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), created in 1853. This work of art showcases the Itsukushima Shrine in Aki Province, now known as Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The print depicts a bustling scene at the shrine during a festival, with boats filled with passengers making their way towards the iconic torii gate, which appears to be floating on the water due to the tidal conditions. The gate is a popular symbol of the shrine and is a must-see attraction for visitors. The background is filled with the vibrant colors of the festival, including the blue and grey tones of the water and sky, as well as the red and white of the shrine buildings and the traditional clothing of the men and women in attendance. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Aki Province: Festival at the Itsukushima Shrine" and the artist's signature, "Hiroshige I." This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Ando Hiroshige, who is considered one of the greatest masters of the ukiyo-e genre. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and continues to be a source of inspiration for artists and art lovers around the world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and significance of this work firsthand. The print is an oban size, making it a perfect addition to any collection of Asian art or for those interested in exploring the artistic schools and traditions of Japan during the 19th century.
