Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print,
EDITORS COMMENTS
Chikugo Province, Currents around the Weir," transports us to the serene and picturesque Chikugo Province in Fukuoka, Japan during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The print, part of Hiroshige's famous series "Famous Places in the Sixty Odd Provinces," showcases the natural beauty of the region with its verdant hills, expansive farmlands, and winding rivers. The print's central focus is the weir, a man-made structure used for controlling the flow of water in the river. The currents around the weir are depicted with intricate detail, creating a sense of movement and energy that contrasts with the stillness of the surrounding landscape. The blue and green color palette adds to the tranquil atmosphere, with the rooftops of houses and the thatched roofs of fishermen's huts peeking out from the hills and fields. The rural scene is populated with local fisherfolk, who are shown mending their nets and tending to their boats. The print captures the rustic charm of rural life in Japan during this era, with the simple pleasures of fishing and farming providing a livelihood for the people. The print's regionalism is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as an artist, as he brings to life the unique character and beauty of Chikugo Province. This woodblock print is a valuable heritage art piece, reflecting the rich cultural history of Japan during the 19th century." Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this beautiful work of art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Hiroshige's artistry and the historical significance of this scene from Chikugo Province.
