EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Echigo Province: Oyashirazu" (Echigo, Oyashirazu), is a breathtaking representation of the scenic coastline of the Echigo Province in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). Part of the renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), this masterpiece showcases the natural beauty of Japan's diverse geography. The print depicts a serene coastal scene, with the rough, eroded cliffs of Oyashirazu standing tall against the backdrop of a tranquil sea. The cliffs, battered by the relentless waves, are a testament to the power of nature. The green colour of the vegetation contrasts beautifully with the brown hues of the cliffs and the blue of the sea. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen standing near the edge of the cliff, taking in the breathtaking view. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides the title and the name of the artist, Ando Hiroshige, who was a leading figure of the artistic school of ukiyo-e. This stunning work of art, created in 1853, is a prime example of Hiroshige's mastery of the color woodblock print technique. The intricate details of the landscape, the subtle shading, and the use of colour all come together to create a captivating image that transports the viewer to a bygone era. The Echigo Province, now known as Niigata, is located in the northern part of Japan's main island, Honshu. This print provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its appreciation for the natural world. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
