EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Hara, section of sheet no. 4 from the series "Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido Road...", created around 1848-52, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and culture of Japan during the Edo period. This color woodblock print, also known as "Harimaze, Section of Hara, from the Series 'Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido Road'" or "Ichiyusai Hiroshige's Tokaido Harimaze Zue," depicts a woman wearing a traditional kimono as she pauses at a roadside inn, or shukuba, along the Tokaido trade route. The intricate details of her clothing are on full display, with the elegant design of her kimono's hem and obi sash, as well as the delicate patterns adorning the sleeves and collar. The woman's expression is serene, reflecting the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The print's title, "Hara," refers to the location of this section of the Tokaido Road, which passes through Numazu in Shizuoka prefecture, in central Japan. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of daily life during the Tokugawa period. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences around the world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this section of sheet no. 4 from the series "Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido Road" in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of Japanese art from the 19th century.
