EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Bingo Province: Kannon Temple at Abuto" (Bingo, Abuto, Kannondo), is a breathtaking representation of the Kannon Temple located in the coastal area of Abuto in the Bingo Province of Honshu, Japan, during the Edo period (1853). The print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), showcasing the rich cultural and geographical diversity of Japan. The print features the iconic Kannon Temple, dedicated to the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara or Guanyin, the goddess of compassion and mercy. The temple is nestled amidst lush greenery, with the temple buildings and red torii gates contrasting against the grey, cloudy sky. The coastal area is depicted with the tranquil blue-green waters, dotted with small boats, and the rocky shoreline. The intricate details of the print are evident in the textured, color woodblock technique, with the vibrant colors of the temple buildings and the muted tones of the landscape creating a harmonious balance. The cartouche at the bottom left corner of the print provides essential information about the location, including the name of the province, the temple name, and the artist's name, Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Utagawa Hiroshige. This stunning work of art is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period and focused on the depiction of everyday life and natural beauty. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic mastery and cultural heritage of Japan during the nineteenth century.
