EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating view from Massaki of Suijin Shrine, Uchigawa Inlet, and Sekiya, created in 1857 during the Tokugawa period of Japan, is an exquisite example of the artist's mastery of the color woodblock print technique. The oban-sized print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." The scene unfolds as a circular panorama, with the Uchigawa Inlet and its estuary forming the central focus. The inlet's mouth is framed by the rocky shores of Massaki Iyo District in Ehime Prefecture, and the serene Suijin Shrine nestled in the woods beyond. The shrine's torii gate, a symbol of Shinto religion, stands proudly against the backdrop of the grey sky, while the shrine buildings are bathed in a warm, golden hue. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the landscape to life, with boats navigating the inlet, men fishing along the shoreline, and background figures adding depth and scale to the scene. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's name, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," and the title of the series. This stunning work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and diversity of its geography and people.
