Catalog note / 解説
Kinryuzan at Asakusa, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of EdoO, by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) This snowy scene of the Kinryuzan Sensoji temple (famous as the Asakusa Kannon) looks toward the temple from the Kaminarimon gate. The partial, but grand, view of the pillars of the gate and its huge paper lantern contrasts with the tiny distant temple, and heightens the white of the snow. Hiroshige's use of this kind of cropped composition had an enormous influence on western Impressionists.
