EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Hoki Province: Ono, Distant View of Mount Daisen" (1853), offers a breathtaking glimpse into the rural life of Japan during the Edo period. The print is part of the renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces," which showcases the natural beauty and cultural significance of various locations across Japan. In this particular print, we see a vast expanse of farmland stretching out before us, dotted with farmers and agricultural workers, both male and female, toiling away under the gloomy, overcast sky. The focus, however, is on the majestic Mount Daisen in the distance, its snow-capped peak piercing the clouds. The mountain, a revered symbol of the Shinto deity Daisen-daijin, looms large over the landscape, emphasizing the smallness and insignificance of human existence in the face of nature's grandeur. The intricately detailed print, with its vibrant colors and meticulously carved lines, showcases the skill and artistry of Ando Hiroshige and the woodblock printing technique. The use of negative space and the careful composition of the elements create a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the scene. This print is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of Japan and the importance of the land and its natural features in the daily lives of its people. It is a valuable piece of Asian art and cultural history, and a must-see for anyone interested in the art, geography, or history of Japan during the Edo period. This particular print is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its significance as a cultural treasure.
