EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kiritsubo" (The Kiritsubo Pine), dates back to the 1850s and is a stunning representation of the Edo Period in Japan. This print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-four Chapters of the Tale of Genji," based on the classic Japanese literature "Genji Monogatari" or "The Tale of Genji," written by Murasaki Shikibu in the 11th century. In this image, we see a mother and her two boys, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, seated in a serene garden setting. The mother is wearing an elegant kimono, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, while the boys are dressed in simpler, yet equally beautiful, clothing. The family is gathered around a low table, possibly in a palace or noble residence, enjoying the beauty of the garden and each other's company. The Kiritsubo pine tree, a symbol of longevity and prosperity, is depicted in the background, adding to the peaceful and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The attention to detail in the clothing, the architecture, and the natural elements is a testament to the skill and artistry of Ando Hiroshige and the woodblock printing technique. This beautiful print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable piece of Asian heritage art that transports us back to a time of elegance, beauty, and family values in Japan's rich history.
