EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Narumi, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Gojusan tsugi), also known as the Figure Tokaido (Jinbutsu Tokaido), created in 1852, is a captivating color woodblock print that transports us to the Edo period of Japan. This exquisite artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the bustling roadside scene at the Narumi station, located in present-day Nagoya, Aichi prefecture, central Japan. The print depicts an elderly man, clad in a blue robe, standing by the roadside, while a woman, dressed in a green patterned kimono, walks towards him, carrying a fabric bundle. An elderly man, wearing a hat, sits on a mat, gazing at the scene with a thoughtful expression. The vibrant colors of the print, from the blue of the man's robe to the green of the woman's kimono, are brought to life through the intricate block printing technique. The Narumi station was an important stop on the Tokaido Road, the main highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. Hiroshige's print captures the essence of the roadside scene, with the flags of the various inns and shops lining the road, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere. This stunning work of art, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the Edo period. It invites us to take a journey back in time and experience the vibrant culture and history of Japan during the 19th century.
