EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's exquisite woodblock print, titled "Boat from Marugame in Sanuki Province (Sanuki, Marugame fune), section of sheet no. 16," is a captivating work of art from the series "Cutout Pictures of the Provinces (Kunizukushi harimaze zue)" created in 1852. This masterpiece of the Edo period showcases the picturesque scene of a pink sailboat gracefully sailing on the tranquil waters of the Inland Sea, off the coast of Marugame in Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan. The intricate details of the boat and its surroundings are brought to life through the artistry of Hiroshige's color woodblock print. The boat's sail, adorned with delicate calligraphy, catches the gentle breeze, while the cartouche at the bottom left provides the title and location of the scene. The calm sea reflects the surrounding landscape, with the island's geographical features and the distant mountains visible in the background. This stunning work of art is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the beauty of nature and the importance of capturing the essence of a place. The use of color, particularly the rose hue of the boat and the contrasting shades of the sea and sky, adds depth and dimension to the print. The boat, with its simple yet elegant design, embodies the nautical traditions of the region and the spirit of sailing that was an integral part of life during the Tokugawa period. The "Boat from Marugame in Sanuki Province" is a beloved piece of heritage art, cherished for its exquisite details, vibrant colors, and evocative depiction of a bygone era. This masterpiece is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly Japanese woodblock prints, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan.
