EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Clearing at the Coast, Tsushima, 1856" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige or Hiroshige I, from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces." This work of art, created during the Edo period (1603-1868) in the nineteenth century, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Tsushima Strait, located in the East China Sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. The print depicts a tranquil harbor, dotted with boats and sailboats, as the sun sets over the distant hills. The calm waters reflect the vibrant colors of the evening sky, which transitions from orange and pink hues to a deep blue, punctuated by the occasional flash of a rainbow. The hillside in the background is dotted with houses and temples, adding to the sense of a thriving community. The title "Tsushima" refers to the Tsushima Islands, a group of islands located in the strait. The name "Evening Clearing" suggests the transitional moment between day and night, as the last rays of sunlight begin to fade and the stars start to twinkle in the sky. This print is an excellent example of Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, which allowed him to create intricate and detailed images with a rich palette of colors. It is a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan and the beauty of its natural landscapes. Today, "Evening Clearing at the Coast, Tsushima, 1856" is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
