EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between circa 1847 and circa 1852. This artwork is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Famous Views of the Eastern Capital," showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of Edo-period Japan. The print depicts an aerial view of Saruwakamachi, the location of a popular Kabuki theater in Asakusa, Tokyo. The theater is adorned with intricate decorations in preparation for the season-opening performances. The decorations include colorful banners, streamers, and lanterns, which hang from the eaves of the theater building. The elevated view allows the viewer to see the detailed preparations taking place on the ground, with men in traditional Japanese clothing busily working to complete the decorations. The print also features a large crowd of people gathered around the theater, eagerly anticipating the upcoming performances. The men, dressed in various shades of blue and white, are seen conversing and laughing with one another, adding to the lively atmosphere. In the background, other buildings and structures can be seen, providing a sense of the larger community surrounding the theater. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and the enduring appeal of Kabuki theater. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a stunning work of art, and a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or world art. Today, this print can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
