EDITORS COMMENTS
Numazu—No. 13, from the series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' by Ando Hiroshige, showcases the bustling scene at Numazu, a city located in Shizuoka prefecture, Chubu region of Japan, during the Edo period. The print captures the beauty and diversity of the landscape as travelers make their way along the Tokaido Road, one of the most famous routes in Japan. In the foreground, a farmer is seen working in the fields, plowing the land with a water buffalo. The vibrant green fields stretch out towards the horizon, contrasting with the grey rooftops of the town in the background. The cartouche at the top right of the print indicates the station name and number, adding to the series' historical significance. The print's intricate details and rich colors bring the scene to life, with the rooftops of the town creating a dramatic backdrop against the clear blue sky. The artist's masterful use of color woodblock printing techniques is evident in the way the colors blend seamlessly, creating a sense of depth and texture. The series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' was created between 1832 and 1842, during the Tokugawa period, and is considered one of Hiroshige's most famous works. Each print in the series depicts a different station along the Tokaido Road, providing a visual record of the geography, culture, and daily life of Japan during this period. This stunning print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
