EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yui, a section of a sheet from the renowned series "Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" (1856), offers a captivating glimpse into the Edo Period of Japan. This color woodblock print showcases a young girl in traditional Japanese attire, taking a break at Harimaze, a hill station on the Tokaido Road. The girl is depicted from the back, balancing her parasol with one hand and adjusting her clothing with the other. Her dress, adorned with intricate patterns, is a testament to the artistic school of the time. The print, created by the masterful hands of Ando Hiroshige, showcases the beauty and elegance of Japanese fashion during the 19th century. The use of color and balance in the composition is a hallmark of Hiroshige's artistic style, which was influential in the artistic world of Asia and beyond. Harimaze, a station located in modern-day Shizuoka Prefecture, is depicted as a serene and picturesque location, with the girl's parasol casting a shadow on the ground, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The print is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the importance of preserving its artistic traditions. This section of the sheet from the series is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Ando Hiroshige and the artistic school of the Edo Period.
