EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Shinobazu Pond at Ueno," dates back to the 1840s, during the Tokugawa period of Japan. This exquisite piece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Famous Places of the Eastern Capital." The print showcases the picturesque Shinobazu Pond located in Ueno, a popular leisure destination in the eastern part of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The serene pond, surrounded by lush greenery and quaint housing, is the focal point of the composition. The pond is dotted with boats, transporting people across its tranquil waters, adding a sense of movement and vitality to the scene. The reflection of the houses and trees on the water's surface creates a mirror-like effect, enhancing the sense of depth and perspective. In the background, the vibrant colors of the lotus flowers blooming in the pond contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. The people in the scene, dressed in traditional attire, add a touch of rural life and authenticity to the image. This woodblock print, a prime example of the Ukiyo-e art movement, offers a glimpse into the regionalism and scenic beauty of Japan during the Edo period. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of color woodblock printing techniques make this print a true masterpiece, now preserved and admired at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
