EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yui-No. 17, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, captures a breathtaking moment along the ancient Japanese trade route. The print depicts a hill station, Yui, located in present-day Shizuoka Prefecture. The scene is dominated by a grand pavilion perched atop a cliff overlooking the coastal area below. The cliffs and the blue sea create a striking contrast, with the calm waters reflecting the clear sky. The Tokaido Road, the main artery connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, was not only a vital transportation route but also a popular sightseeing destination. People from all walks of life, from merchants to travelers, would stop at the hill stations to rest and enjoy the scenic beauty. This color woodblock print, created by the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, showcases the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The intricate details of the pavilion, the people, and the natural surroundings are rendered with exceptional skill and precision. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series is one of Hiroshige's most famous works, and Yui-No. 17 is a standout among them. The print invites viewers to take a journey through time and space, transporting them to a world of beauty and tranquility.
