EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yokkaichi print from the series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' (Gojusan tsugi), also known as the 'Figure Tokaido' or 'Reisho Tokaido,' dates back to 1852. This stunning color woodblock print depicts a bustling scene at Yokkaichi, one of the stations along the Tokaido Road, the ancient route connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. The print showcases the vibrant costumes and diverse population of the time, with men and women dressed in traditional kimono and hats, engaged in various activities. In the foreground, a group of people gather around a checkered cloth, possibly for a game or a business transaction. A man in a brown robe and a woman in a blue kimono with a checked pattern sit on the ground, while others look on. In the background, a row of boats with fishing nets is anchored by the riverbank. The boats, with their brown sails and blue water reflection, contrast beautifully with the bright colors of the people and their clothing. The print is a masterpiece of the Edo period's artistic school, showcasing the attention to detail and the use of calligraphy typical of the time. The print's title, 'Yokkaichi,' is written in elegant calligraphy at the top, adding to its overall beauty and historical significance. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic skill of Ando Hiroshige, who is considered one of the greatest masters of ukiyo-e, or 'floating world' art. Today, it is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
