EDITORS COMMENTS
Fujikawa" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi) created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1852. This masterpiece, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), showcases the post station of Fujikawa in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan. The scene is set during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, a time when the Tokaido Road was a significant trade route for travel between Tokyo and Kyoto. The print depicts a bustling street scene, with men and women of various ages and social standings gathered at the station. A man in a green robe, identified as a guy or local guide, is shown pointing the way to a traveler, while a woman in a red obi and a man in a blue kimono engage in conversation. The vibrant colors, particularly the lush green hues, add to the sense of life and energy in the scene. The print is a chuban size, meaning it is slightly smaller than the standard oban size, and is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the color woodblock printing technique. The intricate details and expressive figures make this print a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history. The Fujikawa print is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Japan during the Edo period. This artwork is part of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and is a reminder of the importance of the Tokaido Road as a significant trade and travel route during this time. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
