EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Otsu: Hashirii Teahouse," showcases the picturesque scene of the Hashirii Teahouse located in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the Hoeido Tokaido. The image portrays a bullock cart arriving at the teahouse, with its driver and passengers disembarking. The teahouse, nestled at the foot of a hill, is surrounded by lush greenery and a serene landscape. The gradient of colors from the brown cart and grey oxen to the vibrant greens and blues of the landscape creates a stunning contrast. The teahouse, a popular resting place for travelers along the Tokaido Road, is bustling with activity. Farmers and men from various professions can be seen gathered around the teahouse, engaging in conversation and enjoying the arrival of the newcomers. The print captures the essence of the Edo Period's famous sights and the daily life of the people. The oban-size color woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and the cultural heritage of Japan. The intricate details, from the textured fabric of the cart to the expressive faces of the people, bring the scene to life. This print is a must-see for art enthusiasts and those interested in the history and culture of Asia.
