Kumagaya Station from Hatchotsuzumi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ikeda Eisen, created between circa 1835 and circa 1838. This print is part of the series "Sixty-Nine Stations on the Kiso Road" (Kisokaido Nijūkyūshichidō), number 9, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image captures the bustling scene at Kumagaya Station during the Edo period (1603-1868). Travelers, both male and female, arrive at the station on horseback or in palanquins carried by porters. Horses and oxen graze in the nearby fields, while an inn or public house can be seen in the background. The rural landscape is depicted in a rustic and detailed manner, showcasing the beauty and simplicity of life along the Nakasendo Road (a major highway connecting Kyoto and Edo). Eisen's masterful use of color and composition creates a vivid and dynamic image that transports us back in time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the various occupations and roles depicted, from farmers in the fields to men carrying heavy loads on their shoulders. The arrival of travelers adds a sense of excitement and anticipation to the scene, making this print a valuable and captivating piece of Asian art and heritage. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Japan during the Edo period, and serves as a reminder of the importance of regionalism and the role of road transport in connecting people and communities. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or the world of the Edo period.
