EDITORS COMMENTS
Satta Pass on the Tokaido, 11th Month, Late 19th Century" is a captivating color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika, part of his "Sketches of the Famous Sights of Japan" series. This masterpiece showcases the breathtaking scenery of Satta Pass, located on the historic Tokaido highway in central Japan. The print depicts a snow-covered mountain pass, with the iconic Mount Fuji, or Fuji-san, standing majestically in the background. The pass is adorned with a natural arch, a geological wonder formed by the erosion of the rocks over centuries. The mountainous terrain, dotted with rocks and boulders, adds to the rugged beauty of the scene. The arrival of the Meiji Era in Japan, marked by modernization and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, is evident in the print through the inclusion of a steam locomotive and railway tracks. The train, a symbol of progress, winds its way through the pass, making communication and transportation faster and more efficient. Telegraph poles line the railway, further emphasizing the advancements in communication technology. The print also highlights the contrast between the traditional and the modern. The ancient Tokaido highway, a thoroughfare that connected Kyoto and Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the Edo Period, is shown alongside the modern railway. The traditional archway, a geographical feature that marked the entrance to the pass, stands in stark contrast to the steam locomotive and the railway tracks. This stunning work of art, created by Kobayashi Kiyochika in the late 19th century, is a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and its ability to embrace change while preserving its traditions. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a reminder of the artistic and historical significance of Japan's past.
