EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's masterpiece, "Goyu" from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi), also known as the "Tokaido with Poem" (Kyoka iri Tokaido), is a stunning color woodblock print dating back to the 19th century. This work of art, created during the Edo period, showcases the beauty of Japan's landscape and the people who inhabited it. The print depicts a porter, identified as Goyu, carrying a heavy load atop a bridge. The bridge, with its intricate design and the rooftops of buildings in the background, creates a picturesque scene. The artist's skillful use of color and calligraphy in the cartouche adds depth and elegance to the print. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series was a popular artistic school during the Edo period, showcasing the scenery along the Tokaido Road, a major route connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Each print in the series captured a unique location and the people who passed through it. This print, specifically, highlights the occupation of a porter, a common sight on the Tokaido Road. The man, with a determined expression, carries his load with ease, showcasing the strength and resilience of the people of the time. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the beauty of its people and nature. This print, in particular, is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art or the history of Japan.
