EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Numazu" from the series "Kyoka Tokaido (Sanoki Tokaido)" or "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road," dates back to the late 1830s during the Edo period of Japan. This stunning color woodblock print showcases the picturesque town of Numazu in Shizuoka prefecture, Chubu region, Japan. The serene landscape is filled with lush, green fields and farmland, stretching as far as the eye can see. The Tōkaidō Road, a significant trade route during the Tokugawa era, is depicted in the background, bustling with travelers and local people making their way through the scenic countryside. In the foreground, a man in traditional Japanese attire, with a straw hat shielding him from the sun, pauses to take in the view. He is likely a traveler, making his way to or from Edo (present-day Tokyo), as part of the fifty-three stations along the Tōkaidō Road. The rural setting is dotted with rustic houses and thatched-roof farmhouses, adding to the idyllic scene. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors showcase Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which emphasized the beauty of everyday life. This piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly the works of Ando Hiroshige. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to preserve and display this rare and beautiful work of art for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
