EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Yoshiwara: Fuji Marsh and Ukishima Plain' (no. 15 from the series 'Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations' or 'Gojusan tsugi meisho zue'), also known as the 'Vertical Tokaido,' is a stunning color woodblock print created in 1855. This work of art depicts the Yoshiwara district, famous for its pleasure quarters, with the backdrop of Fuji Marsh and Ukishima Plain. The image showcases a serene scene of fishermen casting their nets in the marshy waters of Ukishima, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the autumn foliage. Mount Fuji, a prominent geographical feature of Japan, can be seen in the distance, its snow-capped peak rising majestically above the landscape. The print is rich in detail, with the cartouche in the bottom left corner providing information about the location and the artist, Ando Hiroshige. Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, and Ando Utagawa Hiroshige, was a renowned artist of the Edo period, known for his landscapes and cityscapes. His works were highly influential in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on the representation of the 'floating world,' or the transient beauty of life. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of color and composition, capturing the essence of Japan's natural beauty and the daily life of its people. The image invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of the scene, from the boats in the marsh to the background figures of men and women, adding depth and complexity to the overall composition.
