This gallery is about the scenery and architecture of Japan. In my opinion, Japan has some of the most beautifully designed buildings. It's also no secret that Japan has beautiful scenery all around, and year round.
View of Japan: Sensōji temple in Edo, Aōdō Denzen, Circa 1809, From the collection of: Kobe City Museum
I chose this piece of work because it made it easy for me to imagine myself there. Observing all the people and looking around at everything as it were all new.
Mt. Fuji from Kashiwabara in Suruga Province, Shiba Kōkan, Early 19th Century, From the collection of: Kobe City Museum
I chose this because it helps capture the beauty in the beast of Mt. Fuji. It is a very simple yet effective piece of art that shows the stillness of a winter's day.
Folding Screen with Design of the Battle at Uji River, Tosa School, From the collection of: Tokyo Fuji Art Museum
I chose this because of the Japanese warriors. Even their armor was crafted beautifully. I've been to a museum where they have Japanese armor on display and it was only fitting to put this in my gallery.
Tokaido Gojusantsugi no Uchi-Kameyama, Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige, -1/1, From the collection of: Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art
This piece of art is amazing to me. Being able to capture this image and recreate it on paper is incredible.
Meisho Edo Hyakkei - Kamedo Tenjin Keinai, Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige, -1/1, From the collection of: Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art
The colors in this piece really made the piece as a whole stand out to me. I'm sure Japan was a very colorful place back then and it's nice to see that.
