EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Mitsuke" and created by Hiroshige Ando or Utagawa in 1840-42, transports us to a serene Japanese village nestled along the riverbank. Measuring 17x22.5 cm, this exquisite artwork is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The scene depicted showcases the artist's remarkable attention to detail and mastery of composition. A fleet of boats gracefully glides across the calm waters, with a tugboat leading the way. These vessels serve as vital modes of transport for villagers going about their daily lives. As our gaze wanders beyond the boats, we are greeted by a picturesque landscape adorned with thatched-roof cottages and lush trees. The tranquility of this rural setting is further enhanced by figures punting longboats and ferrying passengers across the river on donkobune - small traditional Japanese ferries. Hiroshige's skillful use of color and delicate lines brings life to every element within this print – from the rippling water reflecting shades of blue to the vibrant foliage adorning riverside trees. Each brushstroke captures not only physical details but also evokes a sense of harmony between nature and human existence. "Mitsuke" offers viewers an intimate glimpse into everyday life during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868). It invites us to appreciate both the beauty found in simplicity and humanity's harmonious relationship with its natural surroundings.
