The Floating World

One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

View from Massaki of the Suijin Shrine, Uchigawa Inlet and Sekiya

真崎辺より水神の森内川関屋の里を見る図 · Massaki atari yori Suijin no mori Uchigawa Sekiya no sato wo miru zu

Utagawa Hiroshige · 1857, 8th month

それは何か

Through a round window at Massaki, the view opens over the Sumida River to the grove of the Suijin Shrine, with Mount Tsukuba on the horizon and plum blossom in front.

なぜ重要か

Hiroshige frames the river view through the round window of a house, a viewing place built into the design.

注目すべき点

The circle of the window cuts the river, the grove and the far mountain into a round picture of its own.

A house can be built around its view.

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。
