EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Nissaka" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, presents a vibrant and intriguing scene of travelers descending the mountain at Nissaka, a post station in the province of Kai during the Edo period of Japan. The print, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), showcases the diverse attire of the group of travelers, both male and female, as they make their way down the steep, winding path. The colorful kimonos and clothing dresses, adorned with intricate patterns and designs, contrast beautifully against the grey, downhill gradient of the mountain. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of daily life and the natural world. Hiroshige's masterful use of color woodblock printing techniques brings the scene to life, with the gradient of blue and grey tones skillfully capturing the feeling of a cool, misty morning. The print is a valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its traditional clothing and customs. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series was a popular subject for artists during the Edo period, as it depicted the journey along the main road connecting the eastern and western parts of Japan, from Edo (present-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. This print, in particular, captures the spirit of travel and the diversity of people and landscapes encountered along the way.
