Shirasuka - View of Shiomi Slope
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. Created around 1837-1842 during the Edo period, this masterpiece is also known as the "Tokaido with Poem" series. The print showcases a breathtaking landscape of Shirasuka, or Shiomizaka, located in Kosai, Shizuoka, Japan. The image depicts a serene slope adorned with lush greenery, dotted with local people and men, as they go about their daily activities. The view is framed by the towering mountains in the background, their peaks piercing the blue sky. The print is a chuban size, measuring approximately 18.3 x 25.5 cm. The intricate details of the scene are brought to life through Hiroshige's masterful use of color woodblock printing. The vibrant greens of the plants and the blue hues of the sky contrast beautifully with the white cartouche that bears the title and the calligraphy by Reisho. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty and the spirit of its people during the Edo period. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the rich artistic heritage of Japan. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is a collection of prints that depicts the stations along the Tokaido Road, a major highway that connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. Each print in the series offers a unique perspective of the landscape, people, and culture of the places along the road. This print, "Shirasuka: View of Shiomi Slope," is a prime example of Hiroshige's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich cultural heritage.
