EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Entrance to Enoshima in Sagami Province" (Sagami Enoshima iriguchi), is a breathtaking composition from his renowned series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fuji sanjurokkei), created in 1858. This color woodblock print showcases the entrance to Enoshima Island in the Sagami Province of Japan. The island, famous for its shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of music and fertility, is depicted here as a tranquil and mystical place. In the foreground, a man in traditional Edo Period clothing, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a large pack, stands at the entrance of the gate. A cartouche at the bottom right of the print identifies the location as Enoshima. Behind him, a group of people, including children dressed in colorful kimonos, gather by the water's edge. Boats are moored nearby, ready to transport visitors to the island. Mount Fuji, the iconic mountain that gave the series its name, is visible in the background, its snow-capped peak rising majestically above the landscape. The print's intricate details, from the textures of the clothing to the patterns of the boats, highlight the artistic skill of Hiroshige and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late 19th century. This stunning work of art is a testament to the beauty and significance of Japan's natural and cultural landscapes, and continues to captivate audiences around the world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this important piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige and the enduring allure of Japan's past.
