Spring Scene of Nakanocho in the New Yoshiwara
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, from his series "Newly Selected Famous Places in Edo" (Shinsen Edo meisho). The print captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of Nakanocho, a district in the New Yoshiwara pleasure quarter of Edo, Japan, during the spring season. In the foreground, a crowd of pedestrians, dressed in traditional kimono and hats, make their way along a narrow street lined with low-slung buildings. The buildings, painted in earthy tones of beige and brown, contrast sharply with the bright blue sky and the pink and white blossoms that adorn the trees. The cartouche at the top right of the print identifies the location as Nakanocho, and the title and artist's name are inscribed in the cartouche at the bottom left. The print showcases the intricate details of the clothing and accessories worn by the figures, from the elaborate patterns on the kimono to the intricate obi sashes and the distinctive hats. The scene is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Hiroshige and the ukiyo-e artistic school. The Spring Scene of Nakanocho in the New Yoshiwara is a valuable heritage piece that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan during the Edo period. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The print is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the world that once was, and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
