EDITORS COMMENTS
Fuchu, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Marusei or Reisho Tokaido), c1850, is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. This image, number 20 in the series, depicts the bustling arrival scene at Fuchu, a station located in present-day Tokyo, during the Edo period. The Tokaido Road, a significant trade route connecting eastern and western Japan, is illustrated in exquisite detail. The print showcases a group of travelers arriving at the station, some dismounting from their horses while others prepare for their onward journey. The arrival of the evening is indicated by the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the scene. A woman and a man can be seen at the entrance, possibly the station master and his wife, welcoming the weary travelers. Horses and riders fill the foreground, their energy and movement contrasting with the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The print is a testament to the vibrant life along the Tokaido Road during this era, with people and animals arriving and departing in a constant flow. Ando Hiroshige's mastery of color and composition is evident in this print, making it a cherished piece of Asian art and heritage. The intricate details, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces of the people, bring the scene to life. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or the Edo period.
