EDITORS COMMENTS
Ushimachi at Takanawa" is a stunning color woodblock print from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1857. This work of art showcases the scenic beauty of Ushimachi, a coastal area located in the district of Takanawa in Edo, Japan. The print depicts a bullock cart making its way along a rain-soaked road, passing by a vibrant rainbow and a serene coastline. The cart, adorned with a large cartwheel, is a common mode of transportation during the Tokugawa period, adding to the historical significance of the scene. The print is a masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, known for its distinctive style and focus on the beauty of everyday life. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, or Utagawa Hiroshige, was a leading figure of the school, renowned for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable detail and sensitivity. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those with a focus on the 19th century and the Edo period. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
