EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, No. 29: Wada from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido, transports us to the picturesque town of Wada in the Nagawa Chiisagata district of Nagano, Japan, during the Edo period. This oban-sized color woodblock print, created around 1835-38, showcases the scenic beauty of the region along the Nakasendo trade route. The print depicts a snow-covered valley with the town of Wada nestled at its base. The town is bustling with activity as travelers and locals go about their daily routines. The print captures the essence of the season, with the snow-capped mountains in the background and the frozen river in the foreground. On the left side of the print, a man in a straw rain hat and a woman in a traditional kimono are seen crossing a bridge, while on the right, a man in a long robe and a hat, possibly a traveler, is seen warming himself by a fire. The print also features a few shops and houses, adding to the lively scene. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition creates a breathtaking image that invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and moment in time.
