EDITORS COMMENTS
Tsuchiyama: Suzuka Mountains in the Rain" is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1841 and 1844. This masterpiece is part of the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the Gyosho Tokaido, which depicts the scenic stops along the famous Tokaido Road, a primary trade route during the Edo period in Japan. The print showcases the Tsuchiyama station, located at the base of the Suzuka Mountains. The scene is set during a rainy day, as evidenced by the heavy rain falling from the clouds and the rain-soaked landscape below. The mountains, dressed in lush greenery, rise majestically in the background, their peaks shrouded in mist. The composition is further enhanced by the presence of a man, standing in the foreground, gazing out at the rain-soaked scene. He is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella. The cartouche at the top right corner of the print provides the title and artist's name, while the artist's seal is located at the bottom left corner. The use of vibrant green color dominates the print, representing the lush vegetation and the refreshing rain. The intricate details and delicate brushwork showcase Hiroshige's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period and continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate the beauty and significance of this masterpiece. The print not only provides a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
