EDITORS COMMENTS
Act 4 (Yondanme), from the series "The Revenge of the Loyal Retainers (Chushingura)", c. 1834/39 by Ando Hiroshige captures a poignant moment in Japanese history. In this woodblock print, we see Asano's wife surrounded by her attendant maids and Rikiya as she delicately arranges cherry blossoms. The serene beauty of the scene is juxtaposed with impending tragedy. In the background, deputies including Honzo approach to deliver devastating news - Lord Asano has been condemned to commit seppuku for his knife attack on Lord Kira in court. The tension between tranquility and impending doom is palpable, making this artwork a powerful representation of loyalty and sacrifice. Hiroshige's masterful use of color brings life to every detail, from the vibrant cherry blossoms to the lush garden surrounding them. The intricate depiction of traditional Japanese architecture adds depth and authenticity to the scene. This piece not only showcases Hiroshige's artistic skill but also serves as a window into Edo period Japan.
