EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Hatsune Riding Grounds at Bakuro-cho" (Bakuro-cho Hatsune no Baba), is a breathtaking representation of the Hatsune Riding Grounds in Tokyo during the Edo period of Japan, dated 1857. This stunning piece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). The print showcases a lively scene of people enjoying horseback riding at the Hatsune Riding Grounds, located in the Bakuro-cho district of Tokyo. The vibrant colors of the print, with its rich blue and green hues, bring the scenery to life. The branches of the trees, adorned with pink and red roses, frame the expansive riding grounds, where men in traditional Japanese clothing engage in the popular sport. In the foreground, a man in a red hat and a blue kimono, holding a riding crop, prepares to mount his horse. A banner bearing the name "Hatsune" flutters in the wind, while flags with the crest of the Tokugawa shogunate fly high above the grounds. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's signature, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," and the title of the series. This masterpiece, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the heritage and culture of Japan during the Edo period. The oban-sized print, with its meticulous block printing, remains a cherished piece of Asian art, showcasing the beauty and charm of the Hatsune Riding Grounds at Bakuro-cho.
