EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Ishibe, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, captures a moment of curiosity and wonder as travelers pause at a station during their journey along the famous Tokaido Road in Japan during the Edo period. The print, also known as the Figure Tokaido or Jinbutsu Tokaido, dates back to 1852. The scene is set in Ishibe, Konan Shiga Prefecture, where four people, two men and two women, are gathered around a child, likely pointing and admiring his clothing. The men wear traditional Japanese kimonos, one in a vibrant blue color, while the women are dressed in elegant, flowing garments. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered through Hiroshige's masterful use of color woodblock printing. The print is part of the Chuban series, which features larger figures and a more detailed focus on the people and their interactions. The curiosity and inquisitiveness of the travelers add to the rich narrative of the scene, making it a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the 19th century. Ishibe is just one of the many stations depicted in Hiroshige's iconic series, which showcases the beauty and diversity of Japan's landscapes and people. This print is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
