EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Okabe, 1840-42" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us on a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Japan in the 19th century. Measuring 16.5x22.5 cm, this artwork is housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK. The print depicts a serene scene of a man walking along a mountain path. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it transports us to another time and place. The artist's skillful use of perspective allows us to feel as if we are right there with the protagonist on his stroll. As we follow the man's footsteps, we notice the rocky terrain beneath him and lush trees surrounding him. He carries a kago—a traditional Japanese litter used for transportation—indicating that he may be taking a break from his journey to rest. In the distance, we see small huts dotting the landscape which serve as stopovers for weary travelers like our protagonist. These humble structures provide shelter amidst nature's beauty and offer respite from long journeys through these rugged mountains. Hiroshige masterfully captures both the tranquility and arduousness of travel in this woodblock print. It serves as an exquisite example of Japanese art during this period and invites viewers to immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage.
