EDITORS COMMENTS
Ishibe—No. 52" is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," created around 1847-1852. This masterpiece showcases the picturesque scene of Ishibe, the 52nd station on the Tokaido Road, located in the present-day Konan Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The print depicts a tranquil scene of a group of travelers and locals gathered at a rest stop, surrounded by beautiful buildings with intricate architectural details. The cartouche at the top left corner of the print identifies the location, while the blue hues of the buildings and the pine trees add depth and contrast to the warm tones of the print. Hiroshige masterfully captures the daily life of the Edo Period (1603-1868) in Japan, with men and women of all ages and social classes interacting in the bustling scene. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the peaceful presence of the pine trees, which have long been considered a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich heritage. This stunning print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those fascinated by the daily life and landscapes of Japan during the Edo Period. This oban-sized print, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, is a true masterpiece that invites the viewer to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Japanese art and culture.
