Catching Lampreys, Eels, and Red Rockfish on Lake Suwa, Shinshu Province
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige II, part of his renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" (Shokoku meisho hyakkei). This work of art, created in 1860, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts a lively scene by the shores of Lake Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. Local men, dressed in traditional garb, gather around a campfire, their faces focused and determined as they catch lampreys, eels, and red rockfish. The cartouche at the top right corner identifies the location as Lake Suwa in the Shinshu Province. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, with the men's clothing, the red and orange hues of the campfire, and the cool blues and greens of the lake and surrounding landscape. The background is filled with the silhouettes of mountains and trees, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The print is a testament to the artistic skill of Utagawa Hiroshige II and the artistic schools of his time. It also highlights the importance of fishing in the daily life of the people of Japan during the Edo period. The print is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. This work of art is a beautiful representation of the geographical features and local people of Japan, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the continent and the concept of the 'One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces' series. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, arts of Asia, or the artistic schools of the 19th century.
