EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Otsu" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi), showcases the picturesque town of Otsu in Shiga Prefecture, Kinki region, Japan. Dating back to the 19th century, this masterpiece of the Edo period (1603-1868) is also known as the "Tokaido with Poem" (Kyoka iri Tokaido). The print beautifully depicts the tranquil scene of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan, with its mirror-like surface reflecting the majestic hills and the distant coastline. Boats with passengers and cargo are anchored at the shore, while local people gather around a hut, engaged in conversation. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the calligraphy in the cartouche, which reads "The Guy of Otsu," a reference to a famous poem by the poet Matsuo Basho. Hiroshige's exceptional use of color and composition in this chuban (medium-sized) print is a testament to his artistic mastery. The print not only showcases the geographical features of Otsu but also captures the spirit of the local people and their daily life during the Edo Period. This stunning work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, providing a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
