EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kakegawa" from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, offers a vivid glimpse into the Edo Period (1603-1868) of Japan. This exquisite work of art, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), showcases the picturesque town of Kakegawa in Shizuoka Prefecture. The print depicts a bustling scene at the Kakegawa station, where travelers rest and prepare for their journey ahead. The women in the foreground are dressed in elegant kimonos, their vibrant colors contrasting against the muted tones of the grey and green landscape. The men, too, are dressed in traditional clothing, their faces expressing a range of emotions from fatigue to excitement. The print's intricate details reveal the richness of Japanese culture during the Edo Period. The trees, primarily pine trees, are depicted with meticulous attention, their branches reaching out to touch the sky. The buildings and houses in the background are also rendered with great care, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series was a popular one during the Edo Period, and Hiroshige's prints were highly sought after for their artistic merit. This particular print, "Kakegawa," is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the essence of a place and a moment in time. Today, this print is a cherished piece of Asian art, housed in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. It continues to inspire artists and art lovers alike, offering a window into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring beauty of Japanese art and culture.
