EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Chofu Jewel River in Musashi Province (Musashi Chofu no Tamagawa)" from the series "Six Jewel Rivers in the Various Provinces (Shokoku Mu Tamagawa)" dated 1857, showcases the picturesque beauty of the Chofu Jewel River in Musashi Province, Japan. The print is a stunning example of Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which flourished during the Edo period. The composition of the print is divided into two distinct parts. On the left, the tranquil river meanders through the lush greenery, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant blue sky above. The riverbank is dotted with local people going about their daily lives - a laundress hangs clothes to dry, while a woman washes dishes in the river. The serene scene is further enhanced by the delicate calligraphy in the cartouche, which reads "Chofu, Musashi Province." On the right, the estuary of the Chofu Jewel River is depicted, with its grey waters meeting the open sea. The mouth of the river is bustling with activity, with boats of various sizes and shapes making their way in and out. The contrast between the calm river and the busy estuary creates a dynamic tension that adds depth and complexity to the print. The intricately carved woodblocks used to create this print are evident in the detailed textures and subtle color variations, particularly in the rendering of the water and the clouds. The print is further enhanced by the use of oban size, which allows for a larger and more detailed representation of the scene. Overall, "The Chofu Jewel River in Musashi Province" is a beautiful and evocative depiction of daily life along the rivers of Japan during the 19th century.
