EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Hara" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi), created around 1837/42, invites us to explore the picturesque town of Hara in present-day Shizuoka prefecture, Japan. This exquisite work of art is also known as "Tokaido with Poem" (Kyoka iri Tokaido). The print showcases a serene landscape, where the blue and green hues of the sky and the river harmoniously blend with the earthy tones of the buildings. The cartouche at the top left of the print displays the title and the name of the artist, Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Hiroshige Utagawa. The scene is set in the Edo period, and the print captures the daily life of the local people. Men and women, dressed in traditional attire, are shown going about their business, while a man on horseback rides through the town. The buildings, with their intricate details and calligraphy, add to the richness of the scene. The geographical feature of Hara is depicted with precision, as the print includes a view of the town's houses and buildings, situated next to a river. The presence of clouds in the sky adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise tranquil scene. This masterpiece, which is part of the Chuban format, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people through his color woodblock print. The print is a valuable heritage piece, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japanese art and culture during the 19th century.
