EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Famous Products of Tosa Province: Dried Bonito' (Tosa meibutsu, katsuobushi), section of sheet no. 16 from the series 'Cutout Pictures of the Provinces' (Kunizukushi harimaze zue), created in 1852, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This color woodblock print showcases the local industry of Tosa Province, specifically the production of katsuobushi or dried bonito flakes. In the image, a man skillfully holds a large dried bonito fish, its vibrant blue and silver scales shimmering against the muted tones of the background. The intricate details of the fish's textured skin and the delicate folds of the man's clothing are masterfully rendered through the art of ukiyo-e or 'pictures of the floating world.' The setting is completed by the inclusion of a fishing rod leaning against a wooden post and the calligraphy in the upper left corner, which identifies the location as Tosa Province in the Shikoku region of Japan. The print's close-up perspective invites the viewer to appreciate the beauty and artistry of this traditional Japanese product, which continues to be an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic school of Ando Hiroshige and his contemporaries, who captured the essence of daily life and local industries in their works. It is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the artistic and cultural history of Asia.
