EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'The Hall of Thirty-three Bays at Fukagawa (Fukagawa Sanjusangendo)' is a stunning color woodblock print from the series 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo' (Meisho Edo hyakkei), created in 1857. This work of art showcases the exterior of the historic Buddhist temple, Sanjusangendo, located in the Fukagawa district of Tokyo, Japan. The temple is renowned for its fifty-three statues of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and is affectionately known as the 'Hall of Thirty-three Bays' due to the number of bays that house the statues. The print depicts the temple's grand entrance, with a man and woman, dressed in traditional clothing, standing in the foreground, taking in the breathtaking view. The temple's vibrant orange and green colors contrast beautifully against the blue sky and the lush greenery in the background. The intricate details of the temple's architecture are expertly captured, from the ornate carvings on the doors to the intricate roof tiles. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides essential information about the location and the artist, Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), who is considered one of the greatest masters of the ukiyo-e artistic school. Hiroshige's innovative use of color and perspective revolutionized the genre of landscape prints in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring beauty of its artistic traditions. It invites us to explore the history and spiritual significance of this remarkable temple and the people who have visited it throughout the centuries.
