Hakone
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Tokaido gojusan tsugi)," created around 1837-1842. This masterpiece showcases Hakone, a scenic town located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanto, Japan, along the historic Tokaido Road. The print depicts a breathtaking landscape, with a gradient of grey and colorful mountains in the background, and a serene lake mirroring the scene below. A man carrying a palanquin, or litter, traverses the bridge over the lake, accompanied by a porter and a guy leading a horse. The tranquility of the scene is contrasted by the flaming torch held by another man, possibly indicating the approach of night or the need for additional warmth. The cartouche at the bottom right of the print features calligraphy, adding an artistic touch to the already beautiful composition. This print is an excellent representation of the Edo Period's (1603-1868) rich cultural heritage and the beauty of Japan's geography. The intricacy of the block printing technique is evident in the detailed rendering of the landscape, people, and their occupations. This Hakone print is a must-have for any art enthusiast, collector, or scholar of Asian art, particularly those interested in the artistic school of Hiroshige I, also known as Hiroshige Ando or Hiroshige Utagawa. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, showcasing the institute's commitment to preserving and sharing the arts of Asia with the world.
