EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Ebisu Festival on the Tenth Day of the First Month at Imamiya (Imamiya Toka Ebisu)," is a stunning representation of the lively and colorful Ebisu Festival held in Imamiya Shrine during the Edo Period of Japan (1603-1868). The print is part of the renowned series "Famous Views of Osaka (Naniwa meisho zue)" created by Hiroshige and his collaborator, Hokusai Katsushika, between 1832 and 1835. The image portrays a bustling scene of men and women, dressed in their finest attire, making their way to the shrine to pay homage to Ebisu, the god of fortune and fishermen. The god himself is depicted in the center, standing on a boat, surrounded by his seven companions, the other gods of fortune. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print are brought to life through the traditional Japanese technique of color woodblock printing. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the calligraphy of the title and the artist's name, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," written in elegant black brushstrokes. The print's oban size (approximately 26 x 38 cm) showcases the artist's mastery of composition and attention to detail. The Ebisu Festival at Imamiya Shrine was an essential event in the religious and social calendar of the Edo Period, and this print offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during that time. The image captures the spirit of community, faith, and celebration that defined the festival, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art.
