EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Asakusa Rice Fields and Festival of Torinomachi from the Series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 1857" takes us on a journey through time to the vibrant streets of ancient Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in the mid-19th century, this colour woodblock print showcases their mastery in capturing the essence of Edo's landscapes. In this particular scene, we are transported to Asakusa Rice Fields during a lively festival. The image depicts lush green paddy fields stretching towards the horizon, with majestic Mount Fuji standing tall in the distance. A sense of tranquility permeates as bamboo groves sway gently in the breeze. Amidst this serene setting, a procession can be seen winding its way through Torinomachi district. Colorful banners flutter above participants dressed in traditional attire, adding an element of festivity to the scene. Notably, a mischievous cat sneaks into view - perhaps drawn by curiosity or seeking some hidden adventure within these bustling festivities. This woodcut print not only captures nature's beauty but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture and history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst everyday life and agricultural activities like rice cultivation, celebrations and traditions hold immense importance for communities. Displayed at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its intricate details and evocative portrayal of Edo-era Japan.
