EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a selection of Poetry Game Cards from the renowned One Hundred Poems (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki) series created by the masterful Ando Hiroshige during the 1830s in Japan. Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige and Ichiryusai Hiroshige, was a prominent figure in the Ukiyo-e art movement of the Edo Period. The Poetry Game Cards, a part of the Surimono series, were created as luxurious, collectible art pieces. Each card features a calligraphed poem from one of the One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets, a classic anthology of Japanese poetry. The poems are accompanied by intricate illustrations, showcased here in a close-up view. The cards were often stored in decorative boxes, making them an elegant pastime and leisure activity for the literati. The black and white color woodblock print exemplifies the artist's exceptional skill in block printing, with fine lines and delicate details. The image transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa Era. This piece is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and significance of Japanese art and literature.
