Painting Description
"Yabu Street, Atago" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is print number 112 from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was produced between 1856 and 1858. This series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and depicts a variety of scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period.
The "Yabu Street, Atago" print captures a view of the street leading up to Atago Shrine, which is situated atop Atago Hill. The shrine was a popular destination for worshippers and visitors, known for its panoramic views of the city. In Hiroshige's depiction, the viewer's perspective is from the base of the hill, looking up the steep incline of Yabu Street. The composition effectively conveys the challenge of ascending the hill, which was said to be a test of one's piety and determination.
Hiroshige's use of color and detail in this print reflects the changing seasons and the daily life of Edo's inhabitants. The series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" was published by the firm Uoya Eikichi and has been influential in the development of Japanese landscape art. Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its poetic and atmospheric qualities, and his prints have had a lasting impact on both Eastern and Western art, influencing artists such as Vincent van Gogh and James McNeill Whistler.
"Yabu Street, Atago" is a fine example of Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his ability to capture the essence of a location. The print remains a valuable cultural artifact, offering insight into the historical and social context of 19th-century Japan. It continues to be admired for its artistic beauty and historical significance.
