Label Copy: "November 2004Asian Tastes InstallationThis landscape print of shrines and temples show Ando Hiroshige's masterful skill in capturing the varied moods of memorable places at different times. Hiroshige developed his own distinctive style by combining various techniques from traditional Japanese schools, such as Kano and Shijo, as well as Chinese landscape styles, and even Western techniques of painting. The four prints shown here are from a 1853 series of the Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces that Hiroshige produced during the later years of his successful career. These prints present the common people's experience of the Japanese landscape. "
