EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's exquisite woodblock print, titled "The Robe-hanging Pine at Senzoku Pond" (Senzoku no ike Kesakakematsu), is a breathtaking representation of the picturesque beauty of Edo-period Japan. Created in 1856 as part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), this work of art transports us to a tranquil scene nestled in the heart of Ota, Tokyo. The image showcases the serene Senzoku Pond, surrounded by lush greenery and framed by a traditional Japanese fence. The pond's still waters reflect the vibrant colors of the autumn foliage, with a solitary robe-hanging pine tree standing proudly in the foreground. The pine tree, adorned with its red robes, adds a striking contrast to the otherwise monochromatic scene. In the background, we see a quaint hut and a cartouche bearing the inscription "Nichiren Shu," indicating the presence of a temple or monastery nearby. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of several men, clad in traditional Japanese garb, engaged in various activities along the shoreline. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition in this oban-sized print is a testament to his artistic prowess. The green hues of the foliage and the water create a soothing atmosphere, while the intricate details of the buildings and figures add depth and texture to the image. This stunning work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
