EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hokusai, titled "Ejiri, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" takes us back to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. The artwork showcases a scenic coastal view of Ejiri in Shizuoka, with its lush greenery and serene atmosphere. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported to a time when the Tokaido highway was bustling with activity. Intriguingly, the focal point of this print is not just the picturesque landscape but also the people and animals that populate it. A man on horseback catches our attention as he confidently rides along the road while others carry palanquins or travel in sedan chairs. These modes of transportation were common during that era and symbolize both status and convenience. Hokusai's mastery in block printing is evident through his meticulous attention to detail. Each stroke brings life to every element within this composition - from the flowing waves crashing against rocks to each individual strand of grass swaying gently in the wind. As we admire this piece at The Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, we can't help but be captivated by Hokusai's ability to capture both natural beauty and human activity within one frame. This print serves as a testament to his artistic skill and enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
