EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Minakuchi: famous production of Kampyo, from the series Fifty-three Stations" takes us on a visual journey through the historic Tokaido road in Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in 1834-35, this colour woodblock print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Japanese art during this period. The image transports us to Minakuchi, one of the fifty-three stations along the Tokaido route. The bustling scene depicts male and female workers diligently harvesting and preparing kampyo - dried shavings of calabash - a traditional vegetable used in Japanese cuisine. Their meticulous efforts highlight both their dedication to their craft and the importance of food preparation in Japanese culture. As we observe a lone traveler walking along the Eastern coast road, we can't help but imagine his own personal journey amidst this vibrant landscape. The composition beautifully captures the harmony between man-made structures and nature's beauty as they coexist along this iconic route. Displayed at Musees d'Angers in Angers, France, this artwork serves as a testament to Hiroshige's mastery as an artist and his ability to transport viewers across time and space. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance within Japan's rich artistic heritage.
