EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Totsuka: fork in the road of the old town" takes us on a journey back in time to 19th-century Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa, this colour woodblock print is part of the renowned series Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido. The image showcases a picturesque scene along the Tokaido, which was once considered one of the most important roads during the Edo period. The viewer is transported to Totsuka, where a fork in the road leads travelers towards their destinations. Traditional Japanese houses line both sides of this rural village, creating an enchanting backdrop for passersby. Intriguingly dressed figures can be seen traversing this junction - men and women adorned in exquisite kimonos and mounted on horses. They pause momentarily at this rest stop before continuing their arduous journey through mountains and across lakes. The tranquility of this moment is enhanced by the presence of wildlife - horses graze peacefully nearby while farm animals add life to the surrounding landscape. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as it captures a snapshot from a bygone era. Displayed at Musees d'Angers in Angers, France, this piece allows us to appreciate Japanese culture and immerse ourselves in its rich history. It serves as a testament to Hiroshige's mastery as an artist and his ability to transport viewers into another
