EDITORS COMMENTS
Flower Viewing at Asuka Hill" is a captivating section from Ando Hiroshige's series "Cutouts of Famous Places in Edo," created in 1852. This color woodblock print showcases the picturesque scene of Asuka Hill in Asuka Nara Prefecture, Japan, during the Tokugawa period. The hillside is adorned with a vibrant array of blooming trees and plants, their green leaves and flowers creating a lush, verdant backdrop. The hill is named for its beautiful springtime display, making it a popular destination for flower viewing (hanami) among the people of Edo. The artist masterfully incorporates elements of nature and geography into his composition, with the rolling hills and winding pathways leading the viewer's eye through the landscape. The turquoise stream that cuts through the hill adds a refreshing contrast to the predominantly green color palette. The artist's use of calligraphy adds a touch of elegance and tradition to the piece, further emphasizing the cultural significance of the scene. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiryusai, and Ando Utagawa Hiroshige, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist of the 19th century. His works, characterized by their intricate detail and masterful use of color, continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and historical importance. This print from the "Cutouts of Famous Places in Edo" series is a testament to Hiroshige's skill and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of his native land. This work of art is now preserved and displayed in the Art Institute of Chicago, adding to its rich cultural heritage and ensuring that future generations can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Ando Hiroshige.
