EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Year-end Fair at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa (Asakusa Kinryuzan toshi no ichi)," dates back to 1856 from the renowned series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital" (Toto meisho). This exquisite work of art showcases the bustling New Year's Eve festivities at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. The print depicts a vibrant scene filled with a multitude of people, both male and female, gathered on the temple grounds. The architectural features of the temple are prominently displayed, with intricate eaves, balconies, and rooftops adorned with colorful decorations. The temple's cartouche and oban size add to the grandeur of the image. The background is a riot of color, with the red and orange hues of the temple buildings contrasting beautifully against the muted tones of the winter landscape. The balconies are filled with men and women, observing the festivities below or engaging in animated conversations. The rooftops offer a bird's eye view of the crowded scene, with the temple's iconic five-story pagoda standing tall in the background. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period, showcasing the intricate details of the architectural features and the lively depiction of the people. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or institute, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century.
