EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Yastukoji, Inside Sujikai Gate (Sujikai-uchi Yatsukoji)' is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo' (Meisho Edo hyakkei), created in 1857. This oban-sized print showcases the bustling activity at the entrance of Sujikai Gate, one of the gates leading into the Yatsukoji district of Edo, Japan. The gate is adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant green color, standing out against the muted tones of the background. A procession of people, both men and women, make their way through the gate, adding to the lively scene. Pedestrians fill the plaza, their forms creating a dynamic contrast against the stillness of the gate and the surrounding buildings. The print masterfully captures the essence of the Edo period (1603-1868), a time of peace and prosperity in Japan. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige, was a prominent figure in the Ukiyo-e artistic school. His work is celebrated for its ability to depict the beauty and diversity of everyday life in Japan during the nineteenth century. This print, in particular, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the vibrant energy of its urban centers. The intricate details and vivid colors of this print make it a must-see for art enthusiasts and those interested in the history of Japan. It is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing process and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
