EDITORS COMMENTS
Image of the Horse Chase at the Myoken Festival, Soma, Oshu Province" is a stunning color woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This work of art is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces," showcasing the beauty and diversity of Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts the thrilling Myoken Festival in the Oshu Province, now known as Mutsu Province, in northern Japan. The scene is set at Myoken Temple, where a grandstand is filled with onlookers eagerly watching the horse chase. Men and women, dressed in their finest attire, have gathered to witness the exciting event. In the foreground, a rider wearing a red and white striped jacket and a man in a blue robe are shown in the midst of the horse chase. The horses, with their powerful muscles tensed and manes flying in the wind, add to the dynamic energy of the scene. The vibrant green color dominates the print, representing the lush vegetation and the freshness of the season. The cartouche at the bottom of the print includes the title, "Oshu Soma Myoken matsuri umao no zu," and the artist's name, "Ni Daime Utagawa Hiroshige." The print also bears the seals of the publishers, Morita Chimpei and Kisai Rissho, and the carver, Koshibei. This masterpiece is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Utagawa Hiroshige II, capturing the essence of the Myoken Festival and the spirit of Japan during the Edo period. It is a valuable heritage piece that continues to inspire and captivate art lovers around the world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies and details of this exquisite work of art.
