A Shoal of Fishes

Hiroshige / text by Bryan Holme

The Metropolitan Museum of Art / The Viking Press 1980

Gorgeously bound in a lovely colored cloth in the Japanese orihon accordion style, this series of fish prints by the master Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is nothing short of spectacular. Relatively rare, Hiroshige’s fish prints—there are 20 in all—were commissioned by a poetry guild to accompany their poems and were mostly published in 1832. With beautiful reproductions and a full index of poem translations, fish species, and notes on the season that is being depicted, this book is a valuable look at a lesser-known aspect of the great master’s work.

MWW Artwork of the Day (12/31/22) Utagawa (aka Ando) Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) One Hundred Famous Views of Edo #98: Fireworks at Ryogoku (8th month of 1858) Color woodblock print, 36.2 x 23.5 cm. The Brooklyn Museum, New York

This festive image shows pleasure boats on the Sumida River, with Ryogoku Bridge in the center. Elegant restaurants (north of the bridge) traditionally co-sponsored the major fireworks displays at the site, together with the boathouses. The large boat in the center is the "palace-boat," the only one of its kind to appear in this series. These grand pleasure craft were up to fifty feet in length and held as many as twenty "tatami" mats; they were hired out for parties by rich merchants. Next in size and most numerous here are the "roof boats;" the smallest are the uncovered "chokibune." Finally, there are the four boats which wandered among the pleasure boats to sell food and drink. Until 1659, all fireworks used in Japan were imported from China, but then an enterprising youth (Yabei) came to Edo and began to make his own. In 1733 he was commissioned by the shogun Yoshimune to mount a special fireworks display at the Ryogoku Bridge as a purification rite to dispel the evil spirits of the plague and famine then sweeping Japan (the first Kawabiriki- "opening river" ceremony).
