EDITORS COMMENTS
Night Rain at the Paulownia Grove at Akasaka" is a stunning color woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859, as part of his renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). This work of art showcases the beauty of Akasaka Kiribatake, a famous paulownia grove located in Akasaka, Tokyo, during the rainy season of the Edo period. The print depicts a tranquil scene of the grove, with the vibrant green color of the paulownia trees contrasting against the dark, rain-soaked background. The trees are in full bloom, their white flowers scattered on the ground, creating a picturesque scene. In the foreground, we see a group of people huddled under umbrellas, observing the rain and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The print is adorned with a cartouche that includes the title, artist's name, and publisher information. The artist, Utagawa Hiroshige II, was a prominent figure in the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, known for his mastery of landscape and scenery. The print is also signed by the publisher, Kisai Rissho, and features the seals of Morita Chimpei and Suzuki Chimpei. The print is an oban size, measuring approximately 26.3 x 37.8 cm, and is in excellent condition. The intricate details and use of color make it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history. The print transports us back to the Nineteenth Century in Japan, offering a glimpse into the daily life and natural beauty of the Edo period.
