EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Okazaki: Yahagi Bridge" (Okazaki, Yahagi no hashi), is a stunning representation of the Yahagi Bridge in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi), also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, created around 1833/34. This masterpiece of Japanese art showcases the bridge's elegant design as it spans the picturesque estuary, connecting the two banks of the river. The bridge's wooden structure is beautifully contrasted by the blue water and the brown earthy tones of the surrounding landscape. The print is filled with intricate details, from the cartouche at the top to the background people, including a man and a woman, who add a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The bridge's name, "Yahagi," is written in elegant calligraphy at the base of the structure. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The bridge's crossing is a significant location on the Tokaido road, one of the most famous sights of the fifty-three stations, and a popular destination for travelers during that time. The print invites us to imagine the journey of these travelers, as they make their way across the bridge, taking in the breathtaking scenery of Japan's geography.
