EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Moon Pine on the Temple Grounds at Ueno (Ueno sannai Tsuki no matsu)," is a breathtaking representation of the serene beauty of Japan's Edo period. Created in 1857 as part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei)," this oban-sized print showcases the picturesque scene of Shinobazu Pond located within Ueno, Tokyo. The central focus of the composition is the solitary moon pine tree, its gnarled branches reaching out towards the tranquil pond. The tree's unusual shape and spiral growth pattern make it a unique and intriguing subject, adding to the print's allure. The moon pine, a symbol of longevity and perseverance, stands proudly amidst the peaceful scenery, its branches adorned with vibrant autumn leaves. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print reveals the title, artist's name, and series title in elegant calligraphy. The print's color palette is rich and varied, with the deep blues of the pond and the vibrant reds and yellows of the autumn foliage contrasting beautifully against the soft greens of the tree and the earthy browns of the temple grounds. This stunning work of art is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which emphasized the depiction of the natural world and the everyday life of the Japanese people. The Moon Pine on the Temple Grounds at Ueno is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the geography, culture, and heritage of Edo-period Japan.
