EDITORS COMMENTS
Ishiyakushi," or "Stone Setters," is a captivating section from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido," created around 1848-52. This stunning woodblock print showcases the artistic brilliance of Hiroshige and the intricate techniques of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese artistic school. The image depicts a tranquil scene along the Tokaido Road, a major ancient Japanese highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. In this particular section, we witness a group of stone setters meticulously arranging and adjusting stones along the roadside. The vibrant colors of the orange and pink blossoms, set against the lush green foliage, create a striking contrast that highlights the beauty of the natural world. The close-up perspective invites viewers to appreciate the minute details of the scene, from the intricately carved stones to the delicate petals of the flowers. The botanical accuracy and attention to detail reflect the scientific curiosity and appreciation for nature prevalent during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. This section of the "Harimaze Sheet," or "Sheet of the Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido," is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The intricate carvings and precise color application result in a visually stunning and visually engaging work of art. The location of the scene is believed to be in Suzuka Mie Prefecture, Japan, and the image captures a moment in time that has been preserved for centuries. The artistry and cultural significance of "Ishiyakushi" continue to captivate audiences and inspire appreciation for the rich artistic heritage of Japan.
