EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Dividing Pool at Mitsumata" (One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, no. 057, part 2: Summer), showcases the picturesque estuary of Mitsumata in Japan during the summer season of the 19th century. The serene landscape is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the country during the Tokugawa period. The print depicts a shallow pool that divides the land from the sea, with a small fishing boat and boats anchored nearby. The pool's calm waters reflect the clear blue sky and the surrounding lush greenery. In the background, people can be seen going about their daily activities, adding a sense of rural life and regionalism to the scene. The intricate details of the print are a result of the traditional color woodblock printing technique, which showcases the skill and artistry of Ando Hiroshige and his collaborator, Utagawa Hiroshige. The use of color and the contrast between the land and water create a stunning visual effect, transporting the viewer to a different time and place. The print is a valuable piece of Asian art history, representing the Ukiyo-e genre and showcasing the beauty and tranquility of rural Japan during the Edo period. It is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
