EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Flying fish and Ichimochi, from an untitled series of fish" by Ando Hiroshige takes us back to the Edo period in 19th century Japan. The renowned artist's mastery is evident in this exquisite colour woodblock print, showcasing his deep appreciation for aquatic life and nature. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene where flying fish gracefully soar above vibrant flowers and plants. The delicate fins of these magnificent creatures are beautifully captured, evoking a sense of movement and freedom. Hiroshige's attention to detail is remarkable as he skillfully blends colours to create a harmonious composition that transports viewers into the serene world beneath the water's surface. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork represents the rich heritage of Japanese art during the Tokugawa period. It exemplifies Ukiyo-e, an artistic school that flourished during this era, known for its intricate woodblock printing techniques. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are reminded of Hiroshige's ability to capture both natural beauty and cultural significance through his artistry. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
