EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour woodblock print, created by Hiroshige Ando Utagawa in 1834, offers a fascinating insight into the world of travel and transportation during Japan's Edo period. The artwork, now housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Marcus. The scene depicted showcases a resting place for kago-bearers - individuals responsible for carrying sedan chairs known as kagos. These portable litters were commonly used to transport nobles and wealthy travelers across long distances or difficult terrain. In this vibrant print, we are transported to an Asian inn where weary kago-bearers take respite from their arduous journey. The meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe the intricate design of the sedan chairs themselves, adorned with elegant patterns and luxurious fabrics.
