This print was created by Hiroshige Ando around 1840-1843. At Fujisawa Ukiyo-E Museum, this painting is noted as \u201cSagami Enoshima Nozu\u201d; on Artstor and inventory is \u201cleaving island\u201d. According to some documents, this painting describes the view of Enoshima (\u6c5f\u306e\u5cf6, an island in Japan). Whereas I would call this work \u201cisolating\u201d since only one road connects the island and mainland, people are gathered on this road, either coming or leaving; some are families, some are merchants, etc. It shows the aurora scene of the island that we can see the reddish skyline. The dark blue sky on the top of the painting contrasts with the sky at the bottom, bright and clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis:<\/strong>
Japan\u2019s woodblock printing was created in the Edo period due to social status, seclusion, and other issues. Woodblock printings represent human\u2019s lives in different ways, like figures, cityscapes, landscapes. They are at a low price that everyone can afford it. More landscape prints were created since a large number of people can\u2019t travel themselves. The \u201cleaving island\u201d is undoubtedly in realism; three adults are wearing blue kimonos, one kid of red. They look like a family, trying to leave the island. Even though we can\u2019t see the faces of those people at the back, we can tell that they are doing different things with various identities. \u201cLeaving island\u201d has some common characteristics of all Japanese printings, whereas also using a unique way to express this island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
