EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Arai" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and intricate world of Ukiyo-e art. This exquisite print, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), showcases the bustling scene at Arai, a station located in the province of Shizuoka during the Edo period. The print depicts a group of travelers, including men and women, gathered at the station, which is situated by the sea. The male figure in the foreground, wearing a hat and a robe, seems to be directing the passengers, while a woman in a colorful kimono stands nearby, looking intently at the scene. The passengers, both male and female, are shown in various poses, some in deep conversation, others in quiet contemplation. The print's intricate details and vivid colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The use of chuban format, a smaller size for prints, allowed for greater detail and intimacy, making this print a prized possession for collectors and art enthusiasts. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series was a popular subject for artists during the Edo period, as it depicted the various stations along the Tokaido trade route, which connected the capital city of Edo with the western provinces. This print, with its lively composition and intricate details, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the Ukiyo-e artistic style and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life during the Tokugawa period.
