EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Shimada: The Suruga Bank of the Oi River (Shimada, Oigawa Sungan)" is a breathtaking work of art from his renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi), also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, created around 1833/34. This masterpiece showcases the picturesque scene of Shimada, a town located in Suruga Province, Japan. The print depicts the Oi River's estuary, where a convoy of travelers and merchants are crossing, making their way along the Tokaido trade route during the Edo period. The serene landscape is dominated by the imposing Suruga Bank, with its blue-hued background and intricate cartouche. The plain, dotted with men and background people, adds depth and life to the scene. The Oi River, a significant geographical feature, plays a vital role in the composition, meandering through the landscape and merging with the sea in the distance. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, add a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The print's oban size and vibrant color woodblock technique make it a stunning example of Hiroshige's artistic skill and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the nineteenth century. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's ability to capture the essence of a place and transport the viewer to another time and place. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly the artistic schools of Japan, and a valuable addition to any art collection.
