EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's iconic print, "Narumi" from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," captures a moment of rest and relaxation during the long journey along the Tokaido Road in Japan during the Edo period. The print, created around 1837-1842, depicts a bustling scene of local people and shops along the roadside in the town of Narumi, located in present-day Aichi prefecture in central Japan. In the foreground, a young boy and two children play near a shopfront, their laughter and joy adding a sense of liveliness to the scene. The shop itself, with its colorful display and calligraphy sign, invites travelers to take a break and rest their weary feet. The cartouche at the top of the print features the title of the series and a poem, adding an artistic touch to the composition. The print is a masterpiece of chuban (medium-sized) color woodblock printing, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. The use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the world of the print and transporting them to a different time and place. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is a beloved masterpiece of Japanese art, showcasing the beauty and diversity of life along the Tokaido Road during the Edo period. Ando Hiroshige's "Narumi" print is a testament to his skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
