EDITORS COMMENTS
Minamoto no Shigeyuki: A Poet in Edo-era Japan (circa 1845-1849) by Ando Hiroshige This stunning color woodblock print, titled "Minamoto no Shigeyuki," is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige or Ichiryusai Hiroshige. Created during the mid-19th century, this print is part of the iconic series "Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicted the various stops along the main highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. The subject of this print is Minamoto no Shigeyuki, a poet of the 11th century. He is depicted in traditional Japanese attire, including a kimono with an intricately patterned obi, and a bowing posture, signifying respect and humility. Shigeyuki's hair is adorned with a kanzashi, a traditional Japanese hairpin, and he wears an okiku, a decorative collar. The background of the print features a florist's shop, with a man admiring the array of colorful flowers. The print showcases the elegant and colorful clothing of the time, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The attention to detail in the apparel, from the patterns on the kimono to the intricate design of the obi, is a testament to the artistic skill of Ando Hiroshige. This print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art and culture on the world. The print invites us to reflect on the history and traditions of Japan, and the beauty and elegance of its people and art.
