EDITORS COMMENTS
Oiso: Tora's Rain" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This masterpiece, also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, showcases the station of Oiso in the province of Kanagawa, Japan. The scene portrays a man carrying a sack, trudging through a field under a grey, rainy sky. The rain is depicted in intricate detail, with each droplet shimmering in a unique shade of blue. The man's upturned rain hat and the rain-soaked farmland add to the sense of wetness and melancholy. The cartouche at the top right corner of the print bears the calligraphy of the title "Oiso, Tora ga Ame," which translates to "Oiso: Tora's Rain." The name "Tora" is believed to refer to the nearby Tora Pass, a challenging section of the Tokaido Road that travelers had to navigate during their journey between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's exceptional skill in capturing the beauty and intricacies of everyday life during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The serene yet dynamic composition, combined with the vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, make "Oiso: Tora's Rain" a beloved piece of Ukiyo-e art and a significant contribution to the artistic heritage of Asia. This oban-sized print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
