EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Benten Shrine on the Inner Island of Shinobazu Pond (Shinobazu Nakajima Bentensha)," is a breathtaking representation of the famous shrine located in the heart of Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period (1603-1868). This section of a sheet from the series "Cutouts of Famous Places in Edo (Harimaze Koto meisho)" showcases the serene beauty of the shrine and its surrounding scenery. The print depicts the Benten Shrine, dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten, situated on the inner island of Shinobazu Pond. The bridge, adorned with colorful cartouches, connects the mainland to the island, leading to the shrine. The full moon, a common motif in Japanese art, rises above the tranquil pond, casting a gentle glow over the landscape. The bridge, the pond, and the shrine are all bathed in a soft blue hue, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The intricate details of the print, from the calligraphy on the bridge to the individual leaves on the trees, are a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The print also reflects the scientific and artistic school of thought during the Edo period, which emphasized the importance of geographical features and the natural world. This stunning work of art, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art. The Benten Shrine on the Inner Island of Shinobazu Pond is not only a religious site but also a scenic and picturesque location that continues to captivate visitors and art enthusiasts alike.
