EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, No. 5: Yoshitsune Takes a Shortcut and Scales the Steep and Dangerous Precipice at Hiyodori Pass, showcases the legendary Minamoto no Yoshitsune bravely navigating a treacherous cliffside during the Heian period of Japan. This masterpiece, created around 1832/34, is part of the renowned series The Life of Yoshitsune (Yoshitsune ichidaiki no uchi). Hiroshige's expert use of color and composition creates a sense of balance and tension, as the daring figure of Yoshitsune is juxtaposed against the steep, dangerous cliffs of Hiyodori Pass. The print's vibrant hues and intricate details bring the rugged terrain to life, transporting viewers to the heart of ancient Japan. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides context, revealing that this scene depicts Yoshitsune taking a shortcut on his journey to Fukuji Honshu. The print's title, "Kando ni omomuku Yoshitsune Hiyodori goe no kenshun nansho o yojinoboru," translates to "Yoshitsune, Balancing Dangerously on the Steep and Dangerous Precipice at Hiyodori Pass." This oban-sized print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The artistry and detail present in this woodblock print continue to captivate audiences and inspire admiration, making it a must-see for any art lover or student of Asian art.
