EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print from the late Edo period (1859) by Utagawa Hiroshige II, also known as Ni Daime Utagawa Hiroshige. This print is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" (Shokoku meisho hyakkei), and it showcases the scenic beauty and local life of Kyoto, Japan. The composition centers around the Kamo River estuary, where people gather to enjoy the cool evening breeze. The black night sky is contrasted by the vibrant green of the trees and the calm, reflective water. In the foreground, a group of men and women, dressed in traditional clothing, sit on the riverbank, chatting and laughing as they cool their feet in the water. A man in a straw hat stands nearby, looking out at the scene with a thoughtful expression. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location as Shijo in Kyoto, and the artist as Hiroshige II. The print also features the signboards of various shops and inns along the riverbank, adding to the lively and bustling atmosphere of the scene. The intricate details and bold use of color make this a stunning example of Utagawa Hiroshige II's artistic skill and the Ukiyo-e artistic school. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty of its landscapes and people. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the passing of time. Today, this print can be found in the collections of various art institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
