"Kinryūzan Temple at Asakusa" is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was published in multiple editions between 1856 and 1859. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), capturing the daily life and notable landmarks of the city with a poetic and often innovative approach to landscape art.

The "Kinryūzan Temple at Asakusa" print specifically portrays the Kinryūzan Sensō-ji, a historic Buddhist temple located in the Asakusa district of Edo. Sensō-ji, dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon, is Tokyo's oldest temple and a major pilgrimage site. Hiroshige's depiction is characterized by his signature use of bold lines, vivid colors, and a masterful representation of perspective and depth. The print captures the bustling atmosphere of the temple grounds, with pilgrims and visitors mingling amidst the temple structures and market stalls.

Hiroshige's artistic style in this print reflects the influence of Western perspective and techniques, which he integrated with traditional Japanese aesthetics. His work is celebrated for its dynamic compositions and the ability to evoke the essence of a place through carefully chosen details and atmospheric conditions. "Kinryūzan Temple at Asakusa" is not only a valuable artistic representation of a historical site but also an important cultural document that offers insight into the urban fabric and social customs of Edo during a time of significant change and modernization in Japan.

As a key work within "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," "Kinryūzan Temple at Asakusa" contributes to Hiroshige's legacy as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre. His prints have had a profound influence on the development of landscape art in Japan and have also impacted Western artists, particularly the Impressionists, with their distinctive approach to capturing transient moments of beauty in the natural and urban environment.
