The Beauty of Ukiyoe (Landscape)
The other day, I wrote an blog about Ukiyoe" 東都名所 両国之宵月".
I said the elements of the beauty in the work are
"Boldness(大胆)", "Berlian Blue(藍色)", and "Twilight(黄昏)".
Now,
if applying the elements to the world of Ukiyoe(in Landscape),
I restate them "Composition(構図)", "Color(色彩)",
and "Moment(瞬間)".
The former two, "Composition" and "Color" are fandamental elements.They decide the impression of the work.
And the latter, "Moment" is a superior element.
It decide the whole value.
We Japanese have found the beauty
said "もののあはれ" and "をかし" in a moment or
a chage of time since early times.
How the moment is drew is up to his competence of the author
of the work. In this point, Utagawa Hiroshige is a specialist.
Thus, I think these three elements consist of
the beauty of Landscape Ukiyoe.
