EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "View of Okabe", transports viewers to the scenic landscapes of Japan's Tokaido Road. Created by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III) in the 19th century, this exquisite piece is now housed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The print showcases a woman dressed in an elegant grey kimono standing amidst a band of soft grey clouds. In her hands, she delicately holds an iron tea-kettle while balancing a lacquer tray filled with delectable food on her right side. Behind her lies a picturesque scene featuring fellow travelers, a charming village nestled among lush trees, and a rushing torrent flowing through the valley. This artwork is part of the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" where each station along this historic route was depicted by various artists. The background design for this particular print draws inspiration from Hiroshige's work. Kunisada's attention to detail shines through his masterful composition and use of vibrant colors. The publisher Sanoya Kihei (Kikakud?) ensured its wide distribution during that time. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let yourself be transported back in time to experience the beauty and tranquility found along Japan's ancient roadsides.
