EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Okitsu: Kiyomigaseki and Seiken Temple (Kiyomigaseki, Seikenji)--No. 18," is a stunning representation of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, also known as the Reisho Tokaido, created during the mid-19th century. This masterpiece showcases the coastal landscape of Okitsu in Shizuoka, Japan, as travelers on the Tokaido Road approach the Seiken Temple. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors and intricate details. Boats sailing in the tranquil blue sea add a dynamic element to the serene landscape. The temple, with its red gates and golden roofs, stands majestically against the backdrop of the coastal mountains. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides essential information about the location, including the name of the station and the artist's signature. The Edo Period (1603-1868) was a time of peace and prosperity in Japan, and the Tokaido Road was a vital artery for commerce and cultural exchange between the capital city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) and other parts of the country. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series, consisting of 55 prints, was created to capture the beauty and diversity of the various stations along this famous road. This color woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of Japan during the Edo Period.
