EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Famous Products of the Kinryuzan Temple at Asakusa' is a captivating woodblock print from the series 'Cutouts of Famous Places in Edo' created in 1852. This section of the sheet showcases various souvenirs and offerings associated with the Kinryuzan Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, in Asakusa, Tokyo. The vibrant green color dominates the print, with the temple's iconic five-story pagoda standing tall against a grey background. The cartouche at the top bears the title of the series and the artist's name, "Harimaze Koto meisho," and "Hiroshige I." The close-up view offers a detailed look at the intricately designed figurines, dolls, and statuettes, which were popular temple offerings during the Edo period. The calligraphy on the cartouche and the meticulous details on the toys add to the artistic beauty of the print. The wooden doll with a red hat and the green-colored figurine of a monkey are among the most prominent offerings depicted in the print. The grey-toned cartouche contrasts beautifully with the colorful toys, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The Kinryuzan Temple, a significant Buddhist temple in Tokyo, is a popular tourist destination and a significant part of Japan's rich cultural heritage. Hiroshige's print not only captures the essence of the temple but also highlights the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Tokugawa period in Japan. This woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic brilliance of Ando Hiroshige and the cultural heritage of Japan.
