EDITORS COMMENTS
Image of a Whale Hunt at Goto, Hizen Province" is a stunning color woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This artwork is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces," showcasing the rich cultural and geographical diversity of Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts a bustling whale hunt off the coast of Goto, a province located in the northwest of Japan's Kyushu Island. The scene is filled with activity as fishermen, both ashore and aboard boats, work together to harpoon the massive whale. The powerful creature thrashes in the water, its body spouting water and creating waves. In the background, the rugged coastline of Goto is visible, with cliffs and rocks jutting out of the sea. The vibrant colors of the print bring the scene to life, from the deep blues of the ocean to the reds and greens of the fishermen's clothing. The print also features a cartouche with the title and the names of the artists involved, including Morita Chimpei, Kisai Rissho, and Suzuki Chimpei. This artwork is a testament to the importance of fishing and hunting in Japan during the Edo period, as well as the skill and artistry of the Utagawa school of printmaking. It is a valuable piece of Asian art history, and a reminder of the close relationship between the Japanese people and their natural environment. Today, this print is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and displayed for all to appreciate as a beautiful and important work of art from the 19th century.
