歌川広重「月夜木賊に兎」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Rabbits and Reeds in Moonlight

This charming design is an outstanding example of the chu-tanzaku (vertical rectangular prints) that Hiroshige was fond of. Deep and light shades of black ink are skillfully used and the red for the rabbit's eyes, and the publisher and censor's marks, creates an impressive color effect.The waka (31-syallable poem) reads, "The night is amorous. Dew covers the bed of grass. Probably the rabbit's wife cannnot sleep until late".

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.
