歌川広重「菖蒲に白鷺」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

White Heron and Blossoming Irises

Colors of the blue family are the key colors in this print and this is typical of Hiroshige's color schemes. The feathers of the white heron are shown in the Karazuri (emboss) technique. A translation of the seven-character verse couplet reads, "White herons alighting on the paddy-field mark it with one thousand dots of snow. A yellow bush-warbler is a single flower on the tree".

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.
