"Asakusa Rice Fields during the Festival of the Cock" is a woodblock print from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the Edo period, this series was produced between 1856 and 1858, during the final years of Hiroshige's life, and it depicts a variety of scenes from the bustling life of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The series is celebrated for its artistic mastery and is one of Hiroshige's most famous works, contributing significantly to his reputation as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre.

The print "Asakusa Rice Fields during the Festival of the Cock" specifically portrays a tranquil scene set in the Asakusa district, known for its rice fields at the time. It captures the atmosphere of the Tori no Ichi festival, a traditional event held in November, which is associated with the rooster (tori) and good fortune. The festival is celebrated on the days of the rooster according to the Japanese zodiac, and it is a time when people pray for prosperity and purchase lucky charms known as kumade.

In this composition, Hiroshige employs his signature use of perspective and natural elements to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The print features figures of townspeople engaging in the festivities, with the rice fields stretching out towards the horizon. The artist's attention to seasonal details and the daily activities of Edo's inhabitants offers a glimpse into the cultural and social dynamics of the period.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his innovative techniques and the subtle gradations of color known as bokashi, which he used to create atmospheric effects. "Asakusa Rice Fields during the Festival of the Cock" exemplifies these techniques, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a moment in time and the beauty of the natural landscape amidst the human activity of Edo.

The "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, including "Asakusa Rice Fields during the Festival of the Cock," has had a profound influence on the development of Japanese art and has also impacted Western artists, particularly the Impressionists, who were inspired by Hiroshige's perspectives and compositions.
