EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "View of the Naruto whirlpools at Awa" transports viewers to the mesmerizing beauty of nature captured by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa. The artwork belongs to the series Rokuju-yoshu Meisho zue (Famous Places of the 60 and Other Provinces), showcasing famous locations from across Japan. The print measures 32.7x22.1 cm and is housed in the Musee Claude Monet in Giverny, France. Interestingly, this particular piece was part of Claude Monet's private collection, highlighting his appreciation for Japanese art. The image itself presents a breathtaking scene featuring the powerful Naruto whirlpools at Awa. These natural wonders are known for their swirling currents formed by tidal changes between two narrow straits connecting the Seto Inland Sea and Pacific Ocean. In this serene depiction, seagulls gracefully soar above the turbulent waters as if dancing with nature's forces. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors brings life to every detail - from the deep blues representing water to delicate hues capturing sky and landscapes. Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa masterfully captures both tranquility and dynamism within this woodblock print. It serves as a testament to their ability to transport viewers into a world where they can witness firsthand one of Japan's most awe-inspiring natural phenomena – an experience that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
