EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Mariko: Famous Tea Shop' (Mariko, meibutsu chamise), from the series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road' (Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi), c. 1833/34, is a stunning example of the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. The print depicts three people, two men and a woman, taking a rest at a roadside tea house during their journey along the Tokaido Road, a major trade route during the Edo period in Japan. The serene scene is set against the backdrop of the beautiful Japanese landscape, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and a clear blue sky. The tea house, identified by the red lantern hanging above the entrance, is nestled among the trees, offering a welcome respite for weary travelers. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the calligraphy of the title and the name of the artist, Hiroshige. Hiroshige's use of color and composition is exemplary, with the warm tones of the tea house and the cool greys of the landscape creating a harmonious balance. The three figures, dressed in traditional clothing, add a sense of scale and humanity to the scene, making it a beloved meibutsu, or famous sight, of the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido Road. This oban-size print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of daily life in Japan during the Edo period. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this time.
