EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "Actual View of Shimotani, Hoki Province (Hoki Shimotani shinkei)" by Utagawa Hiroshige II, dates back to the 19th century, specifically the Edo period of Japan. It is part of the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces (Shokoku meisho hyakkei)" and showcases the breathtaking scenery of Hoki Province. The print depicts the picturesque landscape of Shimotani, a mountainous region in Hoki Province. The snow-capped mountains dominate the scene, their peaks reaching for the heavens, while the winding river below adds a sense of tranquility and movement. The rock formations and boulders scattered throughout the landscape add textural depth and intrigue. The print is meticulously detailed, with each element of the landscape rendered with care and precision. The artist's use of color is masterful, with the vibrant greens of the trees and the cool blues and whites of the snow-covered mountains creating a stunning contrast. The print is further enhanced by the intricate cartouche, which includes the title, artist's name, and other relevant information. The print is also signed by Hiroshige II, who was a prominent artist of the time, known for his exceptional skills in block printing. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which placed great importance on capturing the natural beauty of Japan's diverse landscapes. It is a valuable piece of cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the geography and geology of Japan during the Tokugawa period. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this stunning print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic prowess of Utagawa Hiroshige II and the beauty of the natural world as captured in this masterpiece.
