EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print titled "View of Numazu" by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III) takes us on a visual journey through ancient Japan. The artwork, part of the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road, showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this particular scene, we are transported to Numazu under a serene moonlit sky. A woman dressed in an exquisite green and black mottled kimono stands amidst a band of grey clouds. She delicately holds a fabric-wrapped box, perhaps carrying precious items or secrets from her travels. As our gaze extends beyond the mysterious woman, we discover people scattered amongst towering trees beneath the enchanting glow of the full moon. Their presence adds depth and intrigue to this nocturnal landscape. Kunisada masterfully incorporates elements from Hiroshige's design for the First Tōkaidō into his own interpretation. This collaboration between two renowned artists highlights their shared dedication to capturing the essence of Japanese culture and natural beauty. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this print evokes a sense of tranquility while inviting viewers to immerse themselves in an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to transcending time and space.
