EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Dyers' Quarter in Kanda (Kanda Kon'ya-cho)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," transports us back to the vibrant and industrious Edo Period of Japan (1603-1868). This exquisite oban-size print, created in 1857, showcases the bustling textile industry of Kanda, a district in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The scene is filled with an array of colors and textures, as rows of dyeing vats and fabric hang out to dry under the sun. The blue and white fabric, which is being prepared for dyeing, contrasts beautifully with the red, yellow, and green flags, adding a lively energy to the image. The dyes are arranged in neat rows, their rich hues waiting to transform the fabric. The positioning of the print, with the sun setting in the background, creates a sense of tranquility and closure to the day's work. The textile industry was a significant part of Japan's economy during the Tokugawa period, and this print provides a glimpse into the local industry that thrived in Edo. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, or Utagawa Hiroshige, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist. His mastery of color woodblock printing is evident in this stunning piece, which is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. This print is not only a testament to the artistic school of the time but also a valuable piece of Asian heritage, showcasing the rich history and culture of Japan during the 19th century.
