EDITORS COMMENTS
Shinagawa: Departure of the Daimyo" is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, from his famous series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" or "Hoeido Tokaido." This image, created around 1833/34, depicts a bustling scene at Shinagawa, the 26th station on the Tokaido Road, the ancient route connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. The print showcases the departure of a daimyo, or feudal lord, from Shinagawa. The daimyo, dressed in formal attire, is seen bidding farewell to his wife and family from the balcony of his grand residence. Below, local people gather to catch a glimpse of the nobleman, while a sailing ship sails in the distance, symbolizing the journey ahead. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and meticulous composition. The artist's mastery of calligraphy is evident in the elegant inscription at the bottom, which reads "Shinagawa, shoko detachi." The print also features a striking representation of the rising sun, symbolizing the start of a new day and the beginning of the daimyo's journey. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the feudal lords and their retinues, as well as the bustling activity at the roadside stations along the Tokaido Road. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those with a focus on Japanese woodblock prints and the artistic school of Hiroshige.
