EDITORS COMMENTS
Mishima—No. 12, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige during the mid-19th century. This work of art is also known as the Reisho Tokaido and is a part of the Oban format, which measures approximately 15 x 10 inches. The print depicts the twelfth station of the Tokaido Road, located in the city of Mishima in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. The scene showcases a bustling street filled with travelers and locals, all making their way through the picturesque town. In the background, one can see a magnificent building with intricate calligraphy adorning its facade, while in the foreground, a tree laden with blossoms provides a pop of color against the muted tones of the landscape. The Tokaido Road was a significant trade route during the Edo Period (1603-1868), connecting the capital city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) with the western provinces of Japan. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series, which includes this print, was created to document the journey along this historic road. In this particular print, Hiroshige masterfully captures the essence of the Edo Period, showcasing the beauty of the natural world, the vibrancy of daily life, and the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The intricate details, from the background people to the individual plants and trees, are a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and dedication to his craft. 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. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and a seminal work in the history of Japanese art.
