EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yoshiwara: Mount Fuji on the Left (Yoshiwara, hidari Fuji), from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, is a stunning color woodblock print dating back to the 19th century. This work of art, created between 1833 and 1834, showcases the beautiful contrast between the serene landscape of farmland and the dynamic scene of travelers on horseback. The print is set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, or Fujiyama, the iconic geographical feature of Japan. Mount Fuji, depicted on the left side of the image, is depicted in its majestic green splendor, with its snow-capped peak reaching towards the sky. The mountain is a symbol of peace, longevity, and good fortune in Japanese culture. On the right side of the image, we see a group of travelers making their way through the Yoshiwara district, a famous red-light district in Edo, Japan. The travelers, both male and female, are depicted in various stages of their journey, with some riding horseback and others walking alongside their horses. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the Edo period. The cartouche at the bottom of the print bears the calligraphy of the artist's name, "Hiroshige," as well as the title of the series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road." This series of prints was a popular artistic school during the Edo period, showcasing the famous sights of the fifty-three stations along the Tokaido Road, a major highway connecting Edo and Kyoto. Overall, this beautiful print by Ando Hiroshige is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the beauty of its natural and cultural landscapes.
