"Zojoji To, Akabane (Pagoda of Zojoji Temple, Akabane)" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was created in the twilight years of the Edo period, specifically between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), capturing the beauty and daily life of the city's famous locations.

The "Pagoda of Zojoji Temple, Akabane" print portrays the majestic five-storied pagoda within the precincts of Zojoji Temple, a significant religious site for the Pure Land sect of Buddhism. The temple was closely associated with the Tokugawa shogunate, and the pagoda, which was a prominent feature of the Edo skyline, symbolized both spiritual significance and the temporal power of the shogunate.

In this artwork, Hiroshige illustrates the pagoda rising elegantly above the surrounding trees and buildings, with a focus on the intricate architectural details and the harmonious blend of the man-made structure with the natural environment. The print is characterized by Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective, color, and composition, which conveys a sense of tranquility and reverence for the site.

The Zojoji Temple and its pagoda suffered damage over the years, including being struck by lightning and destroyed by fire. The print thus serves as a historical record of the Edo period's landscape, preserving the memory of the pagoda as it stood during Hiroshige's lifetime.

As with many of Hiroshige's works, "Zojoji To, Akabane" reflects the artist's keen observation of nature and urban life, as well as his ability to capture the essence of a place in a manner that resonates with viewers. The print remains a valuable piece of cultural heritage, offering insight into the urban and religious aspects of 19th-century Japan, and it continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
