"Kinkakuji" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, a prominent and influential figure in the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art. This print is part of Hiroshige's esteemed series "Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces," which was created between 1853 and 1856. The series consists of a collection of landscapes depicting various provinces of Japan, each chosen for its scenic and cultural significance.

The "Kinkakuji" print specifically portrays the renowned Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto. The temple, formally known as Rokuon-ji, is a historic site famous for its top two floors, which are completely covered in gold leaf. In Hiroshige's depiction, the temple is shown amidst a serene landscape, reflecting the artist's ability to capture the essence of the location's beauty and tranquility.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, which is evident in the "Kinkakuji" print. The artwork typically features the temple set against a backdrop of distant mountains and surrounded by lush vegetation, with an emphasis on the changing seasons, a common theme in Japanese art. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in conveying not just the physical appearance of the landscape, but also the atmosphere and emotion associated with the scene.

As with many of Hiroshige's prints, "Kinkakuji" has been widely reproduced and remains a popular image representing traditional Japanese culture and the aesthetic of the Edo period. The original works from "Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces" are highly valued by collectors and art historians, and they continue to influence modern artists and designers around the world.
