EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fujieda, from the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" takes us back to early 20th century Japan. Created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of Japanese landscapes and daily life during the Edo period. In this particular scene, we are transported to Fujieda, one of the fifty-three stations along the historic Tokaido Road. The image depicts a river fording moment as porters carry their burdens across its flowing waters. Hiroshige's use of ink and color on paper brings out every intricate detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this picturesque setting. The composition not only highlights the natural beauty of Fujieda but also provides a glimpse into professions and occupations prevalent at that time. The presence of these hardworking individuals adds depth and authenticity to this heritage art piece. As we admire this remarkable woodblock print housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it serves as a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and his contribution to ukiyo-e - a genre known for its depiction of everyday life in Japan. Through this artwork, we can appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic appeal that make Ando Hiroshige an iconic figure in Japanese art history.
