EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Odawara: Fishermen's Houses on the Beach (Odawara, kaigan gyosha), no. 10 from the series Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue), also known as the Vertical Tokaido, is a captivating color woodblock print from the 19th century. This magnificent work of art, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), depicts a serene fishing village scene along the coast of Odawara, in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan. The print showcases a row of fishermen's huts along the sandy beach, with the fisherfolk going about their daily activities. In the foreground, a man mends his fishing net, while another man prepares his boat for sailing. A sailboat is anchored in the shallow waters, and several other boats are visible in the bay. The fishermen's huts, with their thatched rooftops, are dotted along the coastline, providing a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The print is rich in detail, with intricate depictions of the fisherfolk, their boats, and the surrounding plants and geographical features. The use of color is masterful, with the blue of the sea and sky contrasting beautifully with the warm tones of the huts and the sandy beach. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides essential information about the location and the artist. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, providing a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period.
