Title
Scene
at the
precincts
of
Shinmei
Shrine
,
Shiba
Description
From the
Famous
Places
of
Edo
series
and
one
of the
most
well-known
19th
century
ukiyo-e
artists
,
famous
for his
landscape
views
,
particularly
his
images
of the
Tokaido
. This
image
was
originally
a
part
of
architect
Frank
Lloyd
Wright’s
collection
of
Japanese
woodblock
prints
.
It
along
with
36
others
came
to the
Wriston
from a
benefactor
who
received
them from
Wright
in
lieu
of a
payment
for
printing
services
.
Many
of the
prints
have
Wright’s
handwritten
notations
in the
margins
.
Though
many
of the
Wright
works
in
our
collection
are of
lesser
quality
, the
images
serve
as an
example
of the
interest
in
Asian
art
that
so
informed
Wright’s
architecture
.
Though
probably
most
known
for his
numerous
editions
of
images
from the
Tokaido
,
Hiroshige
also
produced
a
number
of
prints
and
editions
of
other
well-known
landscape
sites
.
Among
them were
Famous
Places
of the
Eastern
Capital
,
Famous
Places
in the
Sixty-Odd
Provinces
, and
Thirty-six
Views
of
Mt
.
Fuji
,
among
others
. These
series
were a
modern
interpretation
of a
much
earlier
tradition
in
which
Chinese
artists
and
poets
would
paint
and
write
about
important
locales
. As in his
Tokaido
prints
,
however
Hiroshige
imbued
these
modern
views
with a
sense
of a
specific
contemporary
time
and
place
often
employing
a
more
western
perspective
and
showing
modern
day
viewers
inhabiting
the
scene
.
