EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Kinokuni Hill and Distant View of Akasaka Tameike, from the renowned series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, captures the picturesque beauty of Akasaka Tameike in the autumn of the 19th century. The print showcases Kinokuni Hill in the background, its lush green cover adorned with the red and gold hues of autumn. In the foreground, a procession of people and samurai make their way along the road, passing by the moat of Akasaka Tameike. The guard atop the hill keeps a watchful eye over the scene below, adding a sense of security and order to the peaceful scenery. The intricate details of the print are a testament to the masterful skill of Hiroshige and the color woodblock printing process. The use of color, particularly the green hues, adds depth and vibrancy to the image, enhancing the overall effect. The print also provides a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the various elements that made up the rich cultural heritage of the time. The scene is set against the backdrop of the historic Tokugawa period, a time of peace and stability in Japan. The print is a reminder of the beauty and tranquility that could be found even in the midst of urban life during this era. The location, now part of modern-day Tokyo, is a popular tourist destination and a reminder of Japan's rich artistic and cultural history. This stunning print, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture. It is currently part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate viewers.
