EDITORS COMMENTS
Shirasuka" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi) created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1852. This masterpiece is also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido) series. The print showcases a group of travelers making their way downhill along the coastal road of Shirasuka in Kosai, Shizuoka, Japan. The vibrant color woodblock print depicts a scenic view of the Edo period (1603-1868) with a gradient of blue hues in the sky, reflecting on the calm waters of the sea. The travelers, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, are shown carrying their belongings on a litter, with a man leading the way. The women, wearing elegant kimonos, follow behind, their faces expressing a sense of anticipation and excitement for the journey ahead. The print captures the essence of the Tokaido Road, a major highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, and the various occupations and social classes of the people who traveled along it. Ando Hiroshige's artistic skill is evident in the intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and the natural landscape, making this print a valuable piece of Asian art and cultural heritage. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed for visitors to appreciate the rich history and artistic school of Japan during the nineteenth century.
