The Floating World

One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Moon-Viewing Point

月の岬 · Tsuki no misaki

Utagawa Hiroshige · 1857, 8th month

それは何か

A room set for an evening open onto Edo Bay at Tsuki no Misaki: the moon over the water and a line of geese crossing it.

なぜ重要か

Hiroshige shows the view from inside, the way his visitors would have had it, with the room itself as the frame.

注目すべき点

The edge of the room frames the bay, and the moon sits in the open space beyond.

The best view is from a seat.

摺りについて。 Published 1856–59 in the vertical format Hiroshige had first used for his Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces, and reprinted often. The date seal on each sheet gives its month of publication. This is the largest clean open impression of the design the Met holds. 摺りによる違いは実在します——拭き取りや退色は一枚ごとに異なり、公開コレクションの中から最良の一枚を選ぶことこそ、当店の学芸的な仕事です。

パブリックドメイン作品を忠実に復刻。
