EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hitachi Province: Kashima Great Shrine" takes us on a visual journey through the serene landscapes of Japan in the mid-19th century. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa, this colour woodblock artwork is a part of the series Illustrations of Famous Places in the Sixty-odd provinces. The focal point of this image is the majestic Kashima Great Shrine, located in Hitachi Province. Dedicated to Take Mikazuchi no Kami, a revered Shinto deity, this shrine holds great spiritual significance for locals and visitors alike. The artist beautifully captures its grandeur against a backdrop of towering mountains and an idyllic bay. As we gaze at this scene, our eyes are drawn to a traditional sailing junk gracefully gliding into the entrance of the harbour. Its presence adds an element of movement and life to an otherwise tranquil setting. The calm sea reflects shades of blue and green as it meets with the shoreline. This Japanese landscape showcases not only natural beauty but also cultural richness. With its mountainous terrain and picturesque seascape, it encapsulates both serenity and adventure within one frame. Preserved by UCL Art Museum at University College London, this artwork reminds us of Japan's rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire generations even today. As we admire this piece from afar, let us appreciate its timeless beauty while immersing ourselves in the tranquility it evokes
