EDITORS COMMENTS
Futakawa," a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," showcases the beauty and intricacy of Japanese art during the Edo period. This exquisite work of art, created around 1837-1842, depicts a rainy scene at the Futakawa station, located in the city of Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The print, also known as "Tokaido with Poem" or "Reisho Tokaido," is a chuban size color woodblock print, measuring approximately 18.2 x 26.5 cm. The image is dominated by a man, huddled under a rain shelter, as he gazes out at the rain-soaked landscape. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, from the deep greens of the plants and trees to the brilliant reds and yellows of the cartouches and calligraphy. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print displays the name of the station, "Futakawa," while the one at the bottom right features a poem, adding to the artistic and literary significance of the work. The raindrops on the leaves and the man's umbrella add a sense of movement and energy to the scene, making it a dynamic representation of the journey along the Tokaido Road. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world and the human experience. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or Japanese prints and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this stunning work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacy and beauty of Hiroshige's artistry and the cultural significance of the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series.
