EDITORS COMMENTS
Mishima: Morning Mist" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This exquisite work of art, also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, showcases the picturesque scene of Mishima, a town located in Shizuoka Chubu, Japan. The print depicts a serene and misty morning at Mishima, with the towering Mt. Fuji shrouded in the distance, its peak barely visible through the thinning mist. The town below is bustling with activity as travelers prepare for their journey along the Tokaido Road, the most famous trade route during the Edo Period. Men and women can be seen carrying their belongings, some in sedan chairs or palanquins, while others walk alongside their horses and carts. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and elegant calligraphy. The cartouche at the bottom left bears the title of the print, "Mishima: Morning Mist," and the artist's signature, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," is located at the bottom right. The oban-sized print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, which allowed him to create stunning, detailed images that captured the essence of Japan during the 19th century. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" series is considered one of Hiroshige's most famous works, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Japan's landscape and people during the Tokugawa Period. This print, in particular, is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work of art in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricacies of Hiroshige's artistry and the rich heritage of Japanese woodblock printing.
