EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji)" from the series "Famous Places in Kyoto," transports us back to the 19th century in Japan. This iconic image showcases the stunning Kinkaku-ji, or the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, located in Kyoto, Japan. The temple, with its golden roof reflecting on the calm waters of the mirror pond, is a breathtaking sight that has captivated visitors for centuries. The print, created during the Edo period, is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing. The vibrant hues of the autumn foliage, the rich brown tones of the temple's architecture, and the shimmering gold of the pavilion's roof come alive in this print, transporting us to the heart of Kyoto's cultural heritage. The temple, perched atop a hill, is surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, adding to its serene beauty. The Temple of the Golden Pavilion is a significant Buddhist temple, originally built as a retirement villa for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in 1397. The temple's unique architecture, with its golden roof, is inspired by the Jomon period's Rokuon-ji Temple. The temple's roof, which is covered in gold leaf, is a symbol of the Buddha's purity and the belief in the temple's connection to the divine. This print is a testament to Ando Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich cultural heritage. It is a visual feast for the eyes, inviting us to explore the beauty and history of Kyoto and Japan during the Edo period.
