EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's masterpiece, "Inaba: Shirai Gonpachi Leaves His Home" (Shirai Gonpachi hongoku o tachinoku, Inaba), is a captivating image from the series "Cutout Pictures of the Provinces" (Kunizukushi harimaze zue), created in 1852. This stunning woodblock print showcases the back view of Shirai Gonpachi, a man from the Inaba province, as he prepares to leave his home. The vibrant green color dominates the scene, with the parasol in his hand adding a pop of contrasting color. The Edo period (1603-1868) masterpiece is a testament to the artistic school of the time, showcasing the intricate details of clothing and accessories. The parasol, a popular accessory during the rainy season, is elegantly depicted, with intricate calligraphy adorning its handle. The intricate patterns on Gonpachi's clothing and the folds of his dress add depth and texture to the print. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Inaba province, with its lush greenery and serene atmosphere. The image is reminiscent of the legendary tale of Princess Rosetta, who is said to have traveled from China to Japan during the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The print is a beautiful representation of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige. This woodblock print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those with a focus on the 19th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
