EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kasumigaseki, 1857. From number 2," transports us back to the Edo period of Japan (1603-1868) with a vivid portrayal of a scenic location in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." The image showcases a lively scene of people enjoying a leisurely day at Kasumigaseki, an area known for its beautiful scenery along the Sumida River. The print is filled with an array of color and activity, as men and women, young and old, gather together to fly kites. Children laugh and play with toys, adding to the joyful atmosphere. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the Edo period, where the simple pleasures of life, such as kite flying, brought people together. The intricate details in the print, from the delicate folds of the kimonos to the intricate patterns on the kites, showcase the skill and artistry of Hiroshige's woodblock printing technique. This stunning work of art, created by Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period. It is a reminder of a time when life's simple pleasures brought people together and the beauty of nature was celebrated. Today, this precious piece is preserved and admired at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its enduring value and significance in the world of art.
