Ishibe - Megawa Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This image showcases the picturesque village of Ishibe, located in Megawa, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, during the Edo period. The print depicts a serene scene of the post station, with men and travelers gathered at the rooftops, taking in the breathtaking view of the landscape. The village is nestled among the rolling hills and is surrounded by lush greenery, with a clear blue river winding through it. The cartouche at the bottom left corner of the print bears the title "Ishibe: Megawa Village" and the artist's name, "Hiroshige." Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Ichiryusai Hiroshige, was a leading figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the 19th century in Japan. His works are renowned for their exquisite attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Japan during the Tokugawa period. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to convey the beauty and charm of Japan's landscapes and people. The print measures oban size and is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or Japanese prints. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life in Japan during a bygone era.
