EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Goyu: Waitresses Soliciting Travellers" transports us back to 19th century Japan, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of that era. The image is part of the renowned series "53 Stations of the Tokaido" created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in 1833-34. In this scene, we witness a street filled with vibrant colors and traditional attire as waitresses from local inns and taverns compete for the attention of passing travelers. Clad in exquisite kimonos, these hostmaids engage in a lively battle to attract customers to their establishments. The ukiyo-e school style employed here beautifully captures the essence of Japanese culture during this period. Each detail, from the intricate patterns on their garments to their animated expressions, tells a story of conflict and confrontation as these women fight against one another for business. As we observe this street scene frozen in time, we are transported into an era where tradition meets commerce. The clash between these waitresses symbolizes not only their individual struggle but also reflects the larger competition among businesses along the Tokaido relays. This remarkable woodblock print now resides at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Angers, France. It serves as a testament to Hiroshige's mastery and his ability to capture both everyday life and cultural nuances through his artistry.
