EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's No. 16: Annaka from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido (Kisokaido rokujukyu tsugi no uchi), created around 1835/38, captures the picturesque scene of Annaka in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. This color woodblock print is a stunning representation of the Edo Period (1603-1868) and showcases the artistic school of ukiyo-e. The print depicts a hillside scene with a group of local men gathered near a hill, likely taking a break during their journey along the Nakasendo trade route. The hill, adorned with lush greenery and a gradient of green color, forms a beautiful backdrop to the serene scenery. Annaka is known for its scenic beauty, and Hiroshige masterfully captures the essence of this geographical feature. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa Period (1603-1868). The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido series is a popular and iconic representation of the Kisoji road, which connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, two major cities during the period. The series showcases the diverse landscapes, local people, and trade along the route. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details make it a must-have for any art collection, especially for those with an interest in Asian art or the history of printmaking. The Oban size of the print adds to its grandeur and makes it a standout piece in any gallery or art institute. Hiroshige's artistic brilliance is evident in this masterpiece, which continues to inspire and captivate viewers even today.
