EDITORS COMMENTS
"Utagawa Hiroshige II's 'Actual View of Muro Harbor, Banshu Province' (Banshu Muro-tsu shinkei) is a stunning color woodblock print from the series 'One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces' (Shokoku meisho hyakkei), created in 1859. This work of art showcases the picturesque Muro Harbor in the Banshu Province of Japan, located in present-day Hyogo Prefecture on the mainland of Honshu. The print depicts a serene harbor scene, with fishing boats and sailboats anchored at the shoreline. The boats are dwarfed by the towering headland and the expansive blue sea beyond. The cartouche at the top left of the print identifies the location as Muro Harbor in the province of Harima. The print is a masterpiece of the Edo period (1603-1868), a time of peace and prosperity in Japan. It is a testament to the artistic school of Kisai Rissho, which emphasized the importance of capturing the natural beauty of the landscape. The print was created by the skilled hands of Morita Chimpei and Ni Daime Utagawa Hiroshige, who meticulously carved the woodblocks and printed the colors. The 'Actual View of Muro Harbor, Banshu Province' is a vibrant and detailed representation of the geographical feature, with the colorful boats, the blue sea, and the green headland all coming together to create a stunning visual composition. The print is a valuable heritage art piece that continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and historical significance." This print is a treasured piece of Asian art, showcasing the artistic prowess of Utagawa Hiroshige II and the Kisai Rissho school. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or geography. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and displayed for all to appreciate.
