EDITORS COMMENTS
Minosaki in Bungo Province," a captivating section from Ando Hiroshige's "Cutout Pictures of the Provinces" series, dates back to the 19th century, specifically 1852. This stunning color woodblock print showcases the breathtaking coastal scenery of Minosaki in Bungo Province, located in Kyushu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. The print depicts a sandy coastline with a sandbank stretching out into the clear blue sea. The mountains in the background rise majestically, their peaks shrouded in clouds. A small fishing village nestles at the foot of the mountains, with boats anchored at the shoreline. The cartouche at the bottom right corner identifies the location and the artist, Ando Hiroshige. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Ichiryusai, was a renowned Japanese artist of the Edo period. His works, including this one, are characterized by their vivid colors and intricate details. The print's title, "Minosaki in Bungo Province," is written in elegant calligraphy at the top left corner. This section of the "Harimaze" sheet is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the unique beauty of Japan's diverse geographical features. The print invites the viewer to imagine the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, the smell of the sea, and the bustling activity of the fishing village. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Tokugawa period. Today, this precious work of art is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the beauty of its natural landscapes.
