EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Kusuri on the Road to Zenko Temple, Shinshu Province" is a stunning color woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859 as part of his series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces." This artwork showcases the scenic beauty of Nagano Prefecture in Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts a serene landscape with Mount Kusuri, a small hillside covered in lush greenery, rising in the background. The hill is framed by the winding road leading to Zenko Temple, which is not visible in the image but is the destination of the pilgrims shown in the foreground. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, make their way along the path, their figures adding a sense of scale to the vast landscape. The estuary at the foot of the hill is dotted with boats, and the mouth of the river is visible in the distance. The cartouche at the bottom left corner of the print identifies the location as Shinshu Zenkoji michi Kusuriyama, or "Mount Kusuri on the Road to Zenko Temple in Shinshu Province." The print is a masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school and showcases the intricate detail and vibrant colors that were characteristic of the color woodblock printing technique. The use of green color dominates the image, reflecting the natural beauty of the landscape and the changing seasons. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its natural wonders. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and its inclusion in the Art Institute of Chicago's holdings is a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The print is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the world's artistic traditions and the importance of preserving and celebrating them for future generations.
