EDITORS COMMENTS
Yokkaichi: Junction with the Road to the Shrine" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" by Ando Hiroshige. Created between 1841 and 1842, this masterpiece showcases the bustling activity at a road junction in Yokkaichi, a town located in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The scene is set during the dusk of an evening, with the sun setting behind the distant mountains, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape. The main focus of the print is the junction, where travelers and merchants gather, their horses and carts filling the thoroughfare. A man, possibly a guide or innkeeper, stands at the entrance of a pavilion, gesturing towards the road leading to the shrine. The print features intricate details, from the thatched roofs of the buildings to the individual hairs on the horses' manes. The torii gate, a symbol of Shinto religion, stands proudly at the entrance to the shrine, beckoning travelers to pay their respects. The print also showcases the importance of trade and road transport during this time, with various animals and merchandise depicted in the scene. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly in the works of Ando Hiroshige. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Hiroshige's work and the history it represents.
