EDITORS COMMENTS
Numazu: Shinra Saburo (Minamoto no Yoshimitsu)," section of sheet no. 3 from the series "Cutouts of the Fifty-three Stations" (Gojusan tsugi harimaze), created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1852, is a stunning color woodblock print that showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Japan. This artwork depicts Shinra Saburo, also known as Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, a legendary commander from the Heian period (11th century). He is shown seated in a serene setting overlooking the scenic Numazu harbor in Shizuoka Chubu, Japan. The print is a part of the larger series "Cutouts of the Fifty-three Stations," which was a popular subject matter during the Edo period (17th-19th centuries). The series depicted the journey from Edo to Kyoto, passing through fifty-three stations along the way. Ando Hiroshige, a master of the artistic school known as Utagawa-School, is celebrated for his exceptional skill in color woodblock printing. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, with the dominant hues being blue and green. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Numazu: Shinra Saburo (Minamoto no Yoshimitsu)" and the artist's name, "Hiroshige." The intricate details and the delicate brushwork in the calligraphy further add to the artwork's allure. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its cultural traditions. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and folklore of Japan during the Heian and Edo periods. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
