EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Otsu" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This stunning color woodblock print, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), depicts a bustling scene along the Tokaido Road, the main highway connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. The print showcases the picturesque town of Otsu in Shiga Prefecture, Kinki region, Asia. The serene lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan, reflects the elegant silhouette of the historic Omi Hachiman Castle, while the bustling marketplace teems with activity. People dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including men and women in kimonos, engage in lively conversation, while a passerby, clad in a simple robe, appears deep in thought. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition captures the essence of daily life during the Edo period. The print's chuban size, which measures approximately 26.5 x 18.5 cm, makes it an ideal addition to any art collection or gallery display. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic school, which emphasized the importance of capturing the beauty and intricacies of everyday life. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements, and this print, in particular, is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, or history. Whether displayed in an art center, institute, or personal collection, "Otsu" is sure to captivate and inspire.
