EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's No. 56: Mieji, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido, showcases the picturesque town of Mieji during the Edo period of Japan. The vibrant oban-sized color woodblock print captures the serene beauty of the landscape, with its rolling hills, lush greenery, and crystal-clear stream. The hillside is dotted with houses and people, adding a sense of activity and life to the tranquil scene. Mieji was an important shukuba, or post town, along the Nakasendo trade route, and this print would have been a popular souvenir for travelers. The three men in traditional clothing, standing at the edge of the stream, add a sense of scale and depth to the composition. The intricate details of their clothing and the delicate brushwork of the plants and trees are characteristic of Hiroshige's artistic style. The print is set against a backdrop of the Mizuho Mountains in Gifu prefecture, and the town is nestled in a valley surrounded by hills. The green color dominates the scene, from the verdant foliage to the rich hues of the robes worn by the figures. The use of color woodblock printing allowed Hiroshige to create a stunning and detailed representation of this scenic location. No. 56: Mieji is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock print medium and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art or Asian art in general, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period.
