EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's No. 45: Ochiai, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido, is a stunning color woodblock print depicting a downhill scene from the Edo period of Japan. The print showcases the picturesque town of Ochiai, located in Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture, along the historic Nakasendo trade route. The gradual descent of the hillside is captured in a beautiful gradient of green, with the path winding through the lush foliage and leading the viewer deeper into the scene. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the beauty of everyday life. The print is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, making it a feast for the eyes. The scene is bustling with activity, with men and women traversing the path, and a man taking a break at the side of the road. The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido series was created during the Tokugawa period, and was a popular series that documented the journey along the Kisokaido, one of the most important trade routes in Japan. This print, in particular, highlights the scenic beauty of Ochiai, a shukuba or post town, and the natural splendor of the Japanese countryside. The print is an oban size, measuring approximately 26.5 x 38.5 cm, and is in excellent condition. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art or Asian art, and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century.
