EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's exquisite woodblock print, "The Plum Orchard at Kamata (Kamata no umezono)," is a captivating representation of the beauty and allure 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-size color woodblock print showcases the picturesque Kamata Plum Orchard located in the outskirts of Tokyo. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush green trees and a serene body of water, with the vibrant pink plum blossoms taking center stage. The delicate petals of the plum trees are in full bloom, creating a stunning contrast against the deep green foliage and the clear blue sky. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the season, as the first blossoms of spring give way to the promise of new life. The print also features a number of background figures, adding a sense of scale and depth to the composition. The people, dressed in traditional Edo period attire, are engaged in various activities, such as picking plums or enjoying a picnic under the trees. These figures not only add a sense of liveliness to the scene but also serve to highlight the communal enjoyment of the plum blossoms during this time of year. Hiroshige's expert use of color and composition in "The Plum Orchard at Kamata" is a testament to his artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty. The print is a valuable heritage piece, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless allure of the plum blossom season in Japan.
