EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Sado Province: Gold Mines' (Sado, Kinzan), from the series 'Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces' (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), depicts the bustling activity at the gold mines of Sado Province, Japan, during the Edo period. The print showcases a vibrant scene of men working at the mines, located on the mountainside, with a cave entrance visible in the foreground. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are shown using tools to extract gold from the rocky terrain. The print is characterized by its lush, green color palette, with the rich hue of the foliage contrasting beautifully with the rugged, brown mountains. The background is dotted with figures of people making their way along the winding paths, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The oban-size print, with its intricate block printing technique, is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Hiroshige and the Utagawa school. The gold mines of Sado Province were a significant industrial site during the Edo period, contributing significantly to Japan's economy. This print provides a glimpse into the daily life and industry of Japan during this time, making it an invaluable piece of cultural and historical significance.
