EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Miya" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This stunning color woodblock print showcases a woman in traditional Japanese attire, standing at the entrance of a gate, possibly in the city of Nagoya, Aichi prefecture in central Japan. The woman wears a beautiful kimono, its vibrant colors and intricate patterns reflecting the artistic school of the time. Her hair is styled in an elegant chignon, adorned with a traditional hairpin. She wears geta sandals, a common footwear during the period, and carries a boot with a carriage boot design, likely used for travel. The print, also known as the Figure Tokaido (Jinbutsu Tokaido), is a part of the Chuban format, which is smaller than the standard format of the series. It is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the art of block printing, with its meticulous attention to detail and use of color. The scene presents a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the woman standing at the gate, possibly waiting for someone or marking the entrance to a town along the Tokaido Road. The print also hints at the religious significance of the journey, as the woman wears a rosary around her neck, a common accessory during the period. This beautiful work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. It invites us to explore the intricacies of Japanese art, fashion, and history, and to appreciate the beauty and detail of Hiroshige's masterful creations.
