EDITORS COMMENTS
Fujikawa: View of Post Outskirts" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This particular print, also known as "Fujikawa, bohana no zu," provides a glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Fujikawa, a post town located in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The print showcases a serene coastal scene with the post town of Fujikawa nestled in the distance. The town is depicted as a cluster of buildings with thatched roofs, surrounded by lush greenery and winding roads. The posture of a man in traditional Japanese attire, with a group of men in the foreground, adds a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The print's vibrant colors, including the black outlines and blue water, create a striking contrast against the white cartouche and the red oban seal. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual treat for art enthusiasts and historians alike. Fujikawa was an important stop on the Tokaido Road, a major transportation route during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The print captures the geographical feature and scenic beauty of the location, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art or Asian art in general. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time in a single image. This print is part of the Hoeido Tokaido series, which is renowned for its depiction of the famous sights of the fifty-three stations along the Tokaido Road. The series is a significant contribution to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful and historically significant print in its collection.
