EDITORS COMMENTS
Mariko, from the series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' (Tokaido gojusan tsugi) by Ando Hiroshige, c. 1837/42, is a captivating color woodblock print that showcases the beauty and intrigue of Japan during the Edo period. This particular print depicts a young woman named Mariko, who is shown resting at a roadside inn during her journey along the Tokaido Road. The scene takes place outside, with the exterior of a traditional Japanese restaurant or shukuba in the background. Mariko is seated at a low table, surrounded by men, local people, and other travelers. She appears to be taking a break from her journey, perhaps enjoying a meal or a cup of tea. The artist, Ando Hiroshige, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, with Mariko's serene expression and the warm colors of the print evoking a sense of peace and tranquility. The print is part of the 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' series, which was created during the 19th century and is considered a masterpiece of Japanese art. Each print in the series depicts a different station along the Tokaido Road, which was a major trade route between Tokyo (then known as Edo) and Kyoto. The series also includes a poem or cartouche that adds to the overall composition. This particular print is known as 'Mariko, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Tokaido gojusan tsugi)" or 'Tokaido with Poem (Kyoka iri Tokaido)' and is a prime example of Hiroshige's artistic skill and the beauty of the Japanese aesthetic. The intricate details, from the furniture and table settings to the clothing and expressions of the people, are all rendered with exquisite care and attention to detail. Overall, this print is a stunning representation of life along the Tokaido Road during the Edo period and a testament to the enduring legacy of Ando Hiroshige's work.
