EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the serene and mystical world of 19th-century Japan with this stunning woodcut print by Utagawa Hiroshige (1842?-1894). Titled 'Kazusa Kasamori Dera Iwatsukuri Kannon' (Stone Image of the Bodhisattva of Mercy at Kasamori Temple in Kazusa), this vibrant color print depicts a majestic temple perched on stilts atop a mountain peak, its covered stairway winding down to the valley below. The intricate details and textures of the temple's architecture are expertly rendered in bold lines and vivid colors, inviting the viewer to step into this sacred space.
Hiroshige's masterful use of composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing our gaze upward toward the temple's soaring peaks. The Bodhisattva Kannon, revered for her compassion and mercy, watches over all from within the temple's walls. This beautiful print is not only an exquisite example of Japanese ukiyo-e art but also a testament to Hiroshige's skill as an artist.
Created in 1859, this rare gem is part of Liszt Collection, offering us a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during a time when traditional techniques were still being refined. As we marvel at Hiroshige's work, we are reminded that even amidst turmoil and change, beauty can be found in every corner.
