EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Miya: Kagekiyo Visiting the Kannon Temple, section of sheet no. 12, is a captivating color woodblock print from the series Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, created in 1856. This masterpiece showcases the renowned actor Miya Kagekiyo, dressed in traditional Kabuki theater attire, paying homage to the deity Kannon (Guanyin or Avalokiteshvara) at Harimaze, station number 12 on the Tokaido Road. Kagekiyo is depicted with his bare feet and legs apart, displaying a sense of reverence and devotion as he visits the temple. His hat and clothing are adorned with intricate calligraphy, adding to the overall artistic beauty of the print. The deity Kannon, a bodhisattva of compassion, is shown with multiple arms, each holding various objects symbolizing her ability to grant wishes and provide relief from suffering. This stunning work of art reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the fusion of Buddhism, Kabuki drama, and fashion. The vivid colors and intricate details in the print make it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, providing a glimpse into the artistic schools and traditions of Asia during the 19th century.
