Fujieda
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido." Created around 1837 or 1842 during the Edo period, this masterpiece showcases the artistic brilliance of Hiroshige and the Utagawa school. The scene portrays the thirty-third station of the Tokaido Road, located in Fujieda, Shizuoka, Japan. Travelers on their journey from Edo to Kyoto are depicted crossing a bridge over an estuary, with the mouth of the river visible in the background. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors and intricate details, capturing the essence of the geographical feature and the local people. The bridge, adorned with calligraphy, is a popular subject in Japanese art, symbolizing the connection between two lands and the journey that lies ahead. The print also features a cartouche at the bottom, displaying the title, artist's name, and poem. Hiroshige's skillful use of chuban format and color woodblock printing techniques brings the scene to life, inviting viewers to explore the rich history and culture of Japan during the nineteenth century. This print is a testament to the artistic school's dedication to preserving the heritage of Japanese art and showcases Hiroshige's ability to capture the beauty and complexity of everyday life in Japan. The inclusion of local people, from men fording the river to women on the riverbank, adds a sense of authenticity and depth to the scene. "Fujieda" is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, geography, or the history of the Tokaido Road.
