EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yoshiwara, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Gojusan tsugi), also known as the Figure Tokaido, dates back to 1852. This stunning color woodblock print showcases the Yoshiwara district of Edo, Japan, a famous entertainment quarter known for its geisha houses and pleasure quarters. The scene is set along the banks of the Sumida River, where local people gather to mend fishing nets and prepare their boats for a day's work. In the foreground, a woman in traditional attire leans over a fishing net, intently mending it, while a group of women and children watch from a nearby boat. In the background, a line of boats is docked, ready for use on the Tokaido Road, a major trade route during the Edo Period. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print transport us back to 19th century Japan, giving us a glimpse into the daily life of the local people and their connection to the geography of their country." "Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiryusai, or Hiroshige Utagawa, was a renowned Japanese artist of the Edo Period. His work, including this print, is celebrated for its detailed depictions of everyday life and landscapes. The Chuban format of this print, which measures approximately 18 x 25.5 cm, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the block printing technique. Today, this print is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its rich cultural heritage and artistic beauty.
