EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'The Armor-hanging Pine at Hakkeizaka' is a captivating woodblock print from his renowned series 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo' (Meisho Edo hyakkei), created in 1856. This exquisite work of art presents a breathtaking scene of Hakkeizaka, a hill in present-day Chiba, Japan, known for its legendary pine tree named Yoroikakematsu. The print showcases the pine tree in all its glory, standing proudly on the cliffside overlooking the blue expanse of the ocean. The tree's gnarled branches are adorned with armor, a nod to the legendary tale of Minamoto no Yoshiie, who hung his armor on the tree to dry while resting during a military campaign. The background is filled with vibrant colors, depicting the hillside dotted with men, women, and children, adding a sense of life and activity to the serene landscape. The print's cartouche, located at the bottom left, bears the artist's name, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," and the title of the series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." The oban-sized print, with its intricate details and masterful use of color, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of Edo-period Japan. The Armor-hanging Pine at Hakkeizaka is a beloved masterpiece from the 19th century, showcasing the beauty of nature, the richness of Japanese heritage, and the daily life of Edo-period Japan. This iconic work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those with a focus on Japan and the Edo period.
