EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Night Snow, Kambara" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in 1834-35, this colour woodblock print is a part of the renowned series Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido. The Tokaido was an essential road connecting Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto during that time. In this image, we are transported to a wintry night scene in Kambara village. The darkness of the night sky contrasts beautifully with the snow-covered landscape and houses. As we observe closely, figures can be seen walking through the snowy streets, braving the cold weather. The artist's attention to detail is evident not only in depicting the winter scenery but also in capturing the essence of travel and exploration. The text and calligraphy add an authentic touch to this piece, immersing us further into Japanese culture. As we take a stroll through this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves becoming one of those travellers on their journey along the Tokaido. This print serves as a reminder of both historical significance and artistic brilliance from centuries ago. Displayed proudly within a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate Hiroshige's mastery and transports us back in time to experience life during Japan's Edo period.
