Nissaka
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," created around 1837-1842. This exquisite artwork showcases the station of Nissaka, located in the city of Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The print offers a vivid depiction of the roadside scene during the Edo Period, with travelers making their way along the Tokaido Road. In the foreground, a group of men are shown carrying a palanquin, a portable litter used for transporting people of high status. The porter at the back of the group appears to be resting, perhaps taking a break from his laborious job. A man in a straw hat and carrying a bundle on his back walks alongside the group, while another man, likely a traveler, rides in a sedan chair, a more luxurious mode of transportation. The print is adorned with intricate calligraphy in the cartouche, which includes the title of the series and the name of the station. The artist's signature, "Hiroshige I," is also present in the bottom right corner. The print is a chuban size, which refers to the size of the block used for printing. The colorful and detailed print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the 19th century, with the scenery and people depicted in a way that captures the beauty and diversity of the country. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which placed great importance on the representation of nature and everyday life. Overall, "Nissaka" is a stunning work of art that transports the viewer to a different time and place.
