EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Ishibe" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi), showcases a tranquil scene from the Edo period of Japan. The image depicts a man and a woman, dressed in traditional attire, standing before a row of thatched-roof houses at Ishibe, a post town located in Konan Shiga Prefecture. The houses, with their warm, earthy tones, are nestled among the lush greenery and are adorned with intricate calligraphy. The cartouche at the top of the print bears the title "Ishibe" and the name "Hiroshige," as well as the series title "Tokaido gojusan tsugi" and the poetic inscription "Reisho Tokaido" (Poem on the Tokaido Road). The print is a chuban size, meaning it is slightly smaller than the standard oban size, and is characterized by its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series, created between 1833 and 1842, documents the journey along the Tokaido Road, a major route connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Tokugawa period. Hiroshige's prints offer a glimpse into daily life during this time, capturing the beauty of the Japanese landscape and the people who inhabited it.
