EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "No. 27 Kakegawa: View of Akiba From 53 Stations of the Tokaido" takes us on a journey through time and space to ancient Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in approximately 1833, this artwork measures 22.6x35 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. The scene depicted showcases the beauty and tranquility of Akiba, a small town along the famous Tokaido road. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are immediately drawn to a picturesque river crossing adorned with elegant lanterns that cast a soft glow over the landscape. The bridge gracefully spans across the flowing waters, inviting us to explore further into this enchanting realm. Figures can be seen dotting the landscape as they go about their daily activities, adding life and depth to the composition. The artist's meticulous attention to detail captures every nuance of nature's beauty - from delicate cherry blossoms adorning trees in bloom to distant mountains shrouded in mist. This woodcut print belongs to an artistic tradition known as ukiyo-e, which translates as "pictures of the floating world". It offers viewers a glimpse into everyday life during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868), showcasing both natural landscapes and urban scenes. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it transport us back in time while reminding us of
