EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Hara" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Edo Period Japan. This color woodblock print, also known as the Figure Tokaido (Jinbutsu Tokaido), showcases three travelers taking a rest at a roadside station in the province of Nagano, Japan. The serene landscape is dotted with geographical features, including a small bridge, a tranquil pond, and a lush, green hill. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition invites the viewer to imagine the bustling activity along the Tokaido Road, a major trade route during the Tokugawa Period. The image of a passerby, a man in a distinctive hat, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise static scene. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich cultural heritage. This print is part of the vast body of work known as ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." Ukiyo-e prints were popular during the Edo Period and were often used to depict scenes from everyday life, as well as scenes from literature, history, and mythology. Hiroshige's work, in particular, is celebrated for its exquisite attention to detail and its ability to evoke a sense of place and time. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige and to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Japan during the Edo Period.
