EDITORS COMMENTS
Night View of Saruwaka-machi" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1856. This stunning work of art is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which showcases the beauty and vibrancy of Edo-period Japan. The print depicts the lively night scene of Saruwaka-machi, a district in Asakusa, Tokyo. The full moon illuminates the bustling street, casting a soft blue glow over the buildings and people. The moon's reflection shimmers on the calm water of a nearby canal, adding to the serene atmosphere. The print captures the essence of nightlife in Edo, with men and women dressed in traditional attire gathered in groups, some playing games or enjoying a performance at a local playhouse. The buildings, with their intricate designs and bright lights, stand out against the dark night sky. Ando Hiroshige's masterful use of color and perspective in this woodblock print is truly breathtaking. The artist expertly captures the balance between the busy, lit-up streets and the tranquil moonlit scene, creating a beautiful contrast that highlights the unique character of Saruwaka-machi during the Edo period. This print is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the everyday life and culture of Japan. It is a valuable piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences with its stunning visuals and historical significance. Today, "Night View of Saruwaka-machi" is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be admired and studied by art enthusiasts from around the world.
