EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Hara-No. 14, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print that transports us to the scenic Kiso Nagano region of Japan during the Edo Period. This iconic work of art, also known as the Reisho Tokaido, showcases the beauty of the natural world as travelers journeyed along the Tokaido trade route. The image captures the hill station of Harano, where weary travelers would rest before continuing their journey. The print depicts a serene landscape, with a hillside covered in vibrant autumn foliage and a clear, blue sky above. A winding road leads up the hill, with a few travelers making their way towards the top. At the base of the hill, a tree with large, red leaves provides a pop of color against the lush green foliage. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and scale, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves on the journey. The intricate details of the trees, plants, and geographical features are rendered with precision and care, making this print a true masterpiece of Ukiyo-e art. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series was created between 1847 and 1852, during the Tokugawa Period. Each print in the series depicts a different station along the Tokaido road, providing a visual record of the journey and a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during this time period. This beautiful print is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world. It is a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance of Japanese art, and a reminder of the rich heritage that continues to inspire artists and collectors alike.
