歌川広重「名所江戸百景 赤坂桐畑雨中夕けい」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Evening Rain in the Akasaka Paulownia Field -One Hundred Famous Views of Edo-

This print is one of the fine works of Hiroshige II. Notably attractive in it is the depiction of the atmosphere of a rainy evening. It beautifully describes a sight through drizzling rain at Kiribatake, an area near Benkei Bridge, between Akasaka Mitsuke and Yotsuya Mitsuke with the slope Kinokuni-zaka along the moat. The double fade-out of the background, the blue color of the moat, the shadowy plants on the distant bank and the sky fading away in vapor, are all effective in presenting the poetic setting. The appearance of the figures in the foreground, too, is expressive of the feeling of walkers in rain.

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
