歌川広重「雲竜」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Dragon

2024 is the year of “Dragon” in the Chinese zodiac calendar. In ukiyo-e, a dragon was depicted as a sacred and lucky animal and sometimes the evolved form of a carp. In ancient China, the dragon was often considered a symbol of the emperor. In this magnificent work, Hiroshige boldly depicted a descending dragon breaking through the clouds. It is Hiroshige’s late work, but the brush strokes are very powerful.

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.
