EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Train Coming Back to the Takanawa Station, after 1872" transports us back in time to the bustling railways of 19th century Japan. Created by Gyokushu Kawabata, a renowned Japanese artist from the late Edo period, this artwork measures 22.2x27.3 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota. The image depicts a steam-powered train making its return journey to Takanawa Station amidst a picturesque landscape. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this historical moment, capturing the essence of travel and transportation during that era. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of the locomotive as it traverses through lush green fields and distant mountains. It serves as a reminder of how railroads revolutionized not only Japan but also East Asia as a whole. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on the significance of railways in connecting people and places across vast distances. It symbolizes progress, innovation, and human ingenuity. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Maslon to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, this artwork holds immense cultural value for both Japan and America alike. Its presence within their collection allows visitors to appreciate not only Gyokushu Kawabata's artistic talent but also gain insight into an important chapter in global history.
