EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yoshida—No. 35, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, is a stunning color woodblock print depicting a tranquil scene from the Edo period of Japan. The print, also known as Reisho Tokaido, was created around 1847-52 and is part of the Oban size format. The image captures a group of travelers, including men and women, taking a break at a rest stop, or shukuba, near the Yoshida mountain pass in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. The landscape is characterized by its beautiful geographical features, with the blue sea in the background, the green mountains in the distance, and the winding road leading through the pass. The print is renowned for its intricate details, vibrant colors, and the sense of movement and energy it conveys. The cartouche at the bottom left of the image bears the title, "Yoshida," and the artist's signature, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," in red. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series is one of the most famous works of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, which flourished in Japan during the 17th to 19th centuries. The series depicts the sights and scenes along the Tokaido trade route, which connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, the former and current capitals of Japan, respectively. This beautiful print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly Ukiyo-e, and is a valuable addition to any art collection.
