EDITORS COMMENTS
On this woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige, titled 'Ono, Distant View of Mount Daisen in Hoki Province' from the series 'Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces,' we witness a breathtaking scene of rural Japan during the Edo period. The serene landscape is dominated by the majestic Mount Daisen, shrouded in mist and rain, its snow-capped peak barely visible against the overcast sky. The scene below unfolds with lush, green paddy fields stretching out as far as the eye can see, dotted with farmers in traditional clothing, tending to their crops. Raindrops glisten on the leaves, and the earthy tones of the print convey a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The cartouche at the bottom right identifies the location as Ono in Hoki Province. The image reflects the daily life of the local people, who relied on agriculture for their livelihoods. The farmers, both male and female, work together to cultivate the land and produce rice, the staple food of Japan. The print also highlights the importance of geographical features in the country's identity, as Mount Daisen is a significant landmark in Hoki Province. Ando Hiroshige, a renowned artist of the time, masterfully captures the essence of Japan's agricultural heritage through his color woodblock print. The intricate details, from the individual raindrops to the expressions on the farmers' faces, showcase the artistic skill and dedication of the Utagawa school. This print is a testament to the rich cultural history of Japan during the 19th century.
