EDITORS COMMENTS
Fujikawa: Lodgings and Shops on the Mountainside" is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1841 and 1844. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the Gyosho Tokaido. The scene depicted in this print showcases the bustling activity of Fujikawa, a town located in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan, during the Edo period. The print captures the essence of travel during this time, as weary travelers make their way up the mountainside, stopping at lodgings and shops to rest and provision themselves for the journey ahead. The hillside is dotted with a variety of structures, from modest lodging houses to well-appointed inns, each with its unique character and charm. Shops line the street, their colorful facades beckoning to passersby with enticing wares. The print is rich in detail, with intricately rendered figures going about their daily business. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, can be seen haggling over prices, loading goods onto carts, and preparing meals. The hillside is a tapestry of activity, with the sounds of commerce and the smells of cooking wafting through the air. The print is further enhanced by the beautiful use of color and the delicate brushwork that characterizes Hiroshige's style. The hills and mountains in the background are rendered in subtle shades of brown, while the shops and lodgings are depicted in bold, vibrant hues. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides the title and artist's name, adding to the print's historical significance. Overall, "Fujikawa: Lodgings and Shops on the Mountainside" is a stunning example of Hiroshige's artistic prowess and a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period.
