EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Hall of Thirty-Three Bays at Fukagawa (Fukagawa Sanjusangendo)" is a breathtaking representation of one of the most significant Buddhist temples in Tokyo, Japan from the Edo period. This masterpiece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," created in 1857. The print showcases the impressive architecture of the temple, with its thirty-three bays adorned with intricate timber framing and grey tiled roofs. The temple's grandeur is further emphasized by the surrounding landscape, with lush greenery and a serene pond reflecting the temple's facade. The temple's name, Sanjusangendo, translates to 'Thirty-Three Bays of the Deity of Thirty-Three Bodies,' referring to the thirty-three bays that house one thousand statues of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The print also features a cartouche in the bottom left corner, bearing the title and the name of the artist, Ando Hiroshige. The artist's signature, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," is written in the bottom right corner. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors, achieved through the traditional ukiyo-e printing technique, bring the scene to life. The print also depicts a man and a woman, dressed in traditional Edo period attire, standing in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. The people in the background are also depicted with great attention to detail, further emphasizing the bustling activity of Edo period Japan. This stunning woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Edo period Japan. It is a valuable heritage piece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan.
