EDITORS COMMENTS
Nissaka: Sayo Mountain Pass" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" created by Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This stunning work of art, also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, showcases the beauty and intrigue of Japan's historic trade route during the Edo period. The print depicts the steep and challenging Nissaka Mountain Pass, located in the town of Kakegawa, Shizuoka prefecture. The image captures a group of travellers, including a man in a grey robe, making their way up the incline, their determined expressions reflecting the arduous journey ahead. The pass, adorned with colourful cartouches, winds through the mountain, offering a glimpse of the breathtaking scenery that lies beyond. The print's vibrant colours and intricate details bring the scene to life, showcasing the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige. The grey sky adds a sense of drama and depth to the image, while the mountain pass itself serves as a testament to the challenges and wonders of travel during the Tokugawa period. The Nissaka Mountain Pass, with its steep incline and stunning vistas, was one of the famous sights along the Tokaido trade route. This print serves as a window into Japan's rich cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and the beauty of the natural world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to hold this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of Ando Hiroshige's work. The print is a testament to the enduring allure of Japanese art and the beauty of the natural world, inviting us to explore the wonders of the past and the present.
