EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Shimada no zu, View of Shimada" created by the renowned artist Utagawa Toyokuni between 1837 and 1844, we are transported to a serene and picturesque scene along the Tokaido Road. The print measures 24.9 x 18.1 cm and showcases the incredible talent of Toyokuni in capturing both beauty and emotion. The focal point of the artwork is a woman gracefully seated within a small partially enclosed area on a cloud. Her presence exudes tranquility as she gazes into the distance, perhaps lost in her own thoughts or enjoying a moment of solitude amidst nature's splendor. In the background, porters and travelers can be seen preparing to cross a river near Shimada station. This bustling activity adds depth to the composition while highlighting the importance of transportation along this historic road. Toyokuni's masterful use of color brings vibrancy to every element within the print, from the lush greenery surrounding Shimada station to delicate details like flowing robes and intricate patterns on architectural structures. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this exquisite piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance even through photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of Toyokuni's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists whose works continue to inspire awe centuries later.
