EDITORS COMMENTS
On this woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige, titled "Ono, Distant View of Mount Daisen in Hoki Province" (Hoki, Ono, Daisen enbo), we witness a breathtaking scene from Japan's Edo period in 1853. The print is part of the renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyo-shu meisho zue). In the foreground, we observe a lone agricultural worker, clad in traditional attire, laboring in the fields under the ominous, stormy sky. The rich, verdant farmland stretches out before him, a testament to the region's fertility. The focus, however, is on the majestic Mount Daisen in the background, its snow-capped peak piercing the clouds. Mount Daisen, a sacred mountain in Hoki Province, is a significant geographical feature in Japan. The mountain range is home to numerous shrines and temples, making it a popular pilgrimage site. The mountain's isolation and grandeur are beautifully captured in this print, with the bad weather adding an element of drama and mystery. The print is a prime example of Ando Hiroshige's mastery of color woodblock printing. The muted tones of the print, from the deep greens of the fields to the stark whites of the snow-covered mountain, create a sense of depth and texture. The intricate details in the print, from the individual blades of grass to the wrinkles on the farmer's face, are a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill. The cartouche at the bottom of the print provides essential information, including the title, series name, and the creator's name, Ando Hiroshige. This print is a valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japan's agricultural landscape and its geographical features during the Edo period.
