SUMMARY:Landmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo: Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
DESCRIPTION:January 18 – April 13\, 2019\n\nLandmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo:\nHiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\n広重作江戸名所百景展\nCo-presented by Stuart Jackson Gallery & The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\n  \nOriginal print works of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)”\, by Hiroshige (1797-1858) for your view\, together with related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions to bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo.  \n*UPDATE: Feb 6\, 2019  – Snow storm brought additional snow scenes to Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo exhibition. See bottom for details.\n“Edo Hyaku” of Urban Serenity \nOne Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)” by Hiroshige is a series of multi-coloured woodblock prints depicting the landmarks of Tokyo at the time the city was called Edo. \nHiroshige (1797-1858) was an ukiyo-e artist whose reputation was most strongly established in the genre of topographical prints. This direction towards landmark themes came to Hiroshige\, a late bloomer\, in 1831 when his artistic breakthrough\, Tōto Meisho or Famous Views of the Eastern Capital (Edo) print series was published. In 1833 Hiroshige’s popularity exploded when his series 53 Stations of Tōkaidō Highway appeared. \nAcross Japan many famous views became the subjects of Hiroshige’s print series\, but the city of Edo had a special place in his artistry. In volume alone\, Hiroshige created more than one thousand prints of the landscapes of Edo. Among all these books and prints of Edo by Hiroshige\, “Edo Hyaku” occupies an even more privileged position. \n \n“Edo Hyaku” is a summit of Hiroshige’s famous view prints. He himself had previously created many series of famous views\, as though they were the foothills supporting this magnificent peak. In “Edo Hyaku”\, which was created during the last two-and-a half years of Hiroshige’s life\, the artist made one last creative leap: Unlike his travelogue prints which had sense of humour and vitality\, the urban scenes in “Edo Hyaku” embrace poetic stillness and serenity along with new dramatic elements of composition. \nContemporary researchers say that “Edo Hyaku” had an intention of providing emotional relief from the disasters of that time — the Great Ansei Earthquake in 1855 and the Great Wind Storm in 1856. Hiroshige encouraged the citizens\, celebrated the recovery and restoration\, and mourned for the victims through his artworks. Having the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in a country deeply hurt by an earthquake in 2011\, Hiroshige’s generous\, affectionate glance to the city and its residents is more touching than ever. \nOriginal works from “Edo Hyaku”\, related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo. Nature and the seasons along with man-made structures were fully appreciated by Edo residents who made up a population of more than a million individuals. \nHiroshige’s farewell poem\n  \nAzumaji e Fude wo nokoshite Tabi no Sora \nNishi no Mikuni no Nadokoro wo min. \nI leave my brush in the East \nAnd set forth on my journey. \nI shall see the famous places \nin the Western Land. \n  \n(The Western Land in this context refers to the strip of land by the Tōkaidō between Kyoto and Edo\, \nbut it does double duty as a reference to the paradise of the Amida Buddha.) \n  \n*Just added February 6 \n \nNight View in Takanawa \nfrom Eight Snow Views of Eastern Capital series \nThis series of eight snow scenes had never been published in Hiroshige’s life time\, only the sketch remained Paris\, France. These works are considered as Hiroshige’s latest work\, at a same time with One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. First in 1928 the blocks were carved and printed. The piece on display is a reproduction\, hand-carved\, hand-printed\, in 1979. \nThe rest of seven pieces will be added to the exhibition later this month. \nJanuary 18 – April 13\, 2019 \nShow GALLERY HOURS  \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nJanuary 19\, February 2\, 16\, March 2\, 16\, 30\, April 13 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nFebruary 18 (Family Day) \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto  \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229
