EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Shimada, Fujieda, Okabe, and Mariko, no. 6 from the series "Cutouts of the Fifty-three Stations" (Gojusan tsugi harimaze), created in 1852, showcases a serene and picturesque scene from the Edo period of Japan. The print depicts four individuals - Shimada, Fujieda, Okabe, and Mariko - standing on a hill overlooking a tranquil body of water. The men, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, appear deep in conversation, while Mariko, a woman in a vibrant green kimono, holds a bowl and gazes out at the scene before her. In the foreground, a rowing boat glides along the water, adding a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise still landscape. The hill in the background is dotted with cherry trees in full bloom, their pink blossoms contrasting beautifully with the lush green foliage and the clear blue sky. The print is a masterful example of Hiroshige's skill as a color woodblock print artist, with intricate details and a stunning use of color and composition. The scene takes place in the towns of Shimada and Fujieda, located in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. The title "Cutouts of the Fifty-three Stations" refers to a series of prints that Hiroshige created depicting the stations of the old Tokaido Road, a major trade and travel route that connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. This print is number six in the series, and showcases the beauty and diversity of the geography and people of Japan during this time period.
