Description:

Of all the talented print artists of the nineteenth century, Hiroshige was the most successful at depicting the seasonal variations in landscape prints. The two prints seen here, the one on the left from the series “Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji ” and the one on the right from “The Fifty-three Stations of the Tökaidö,” are snowscapes that capture the quiet of a place when covered by a blanket of white. The faint pink glow in the sky around Sukiya Embankment, located along the moat of Edo castle, indicates an early morning horizon. Since Mt. Fuji is in the center of the picture with the rampart of the inner side of the moat jutting into the picture plane at the right, the view is to the west-south-west. The figures on the bridge carry loads to Sukiya Gate. (from “View from an Enchanted Window: Hiroshige and Mt. Fuji” exhibition, 3/16/2006-)
