EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Shimotsuke Province: Urami Waterfall in Mount Nikko" (1853), showcases the breathtaking beauty of Urami Waterfall located in Mount Nikko, Shimotsuke Province, Japan. This masterpiece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue). The print is a stunning example of the artist's skill in color woodblock printing. The composition is dominated by the dramatic Urami Waterfall cascading down the cliff face, its brown waters contrasting sharply with the lush green surroundings. The cliffs, with their intricate patterns and textures, rise steeply behind the waterfall, creating a sense of depth and scale. The background is populated with figures, adding a sense of human connection to the scene. The print is rich in detail, from the individual leaves on the trees to the intricate patterns on the robes of the men in the foreground. The use of color is masterful, with the green hues of the foliage and the brown tones of the water and cliffs creating a harmonious balance. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides essential information about the location, including the name of the province, the name of the waterfall, and the name of the mountain. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty during the Edo period. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic schools of Japan during the nineteenth century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Ando Hiroshige's work.
