EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Goyu' is a captivating woodblock print from his renowned series, 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido.' Depicting the 39th station on the Tokaido Road, this image showcases the bustling activity of travelers and porters at a bridge during the Edo period. The bridge, adorned with intricate calligraphy and a cartouche bearing the station name, spans over a serene body of water, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. Goyu, a man dressed in a simple robe, is shown carrying a heavy load atop his head, a common occupation for travelers on the Tokaido Road. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency, as men rush to complete their tasks and continue their journeys. The use of chuban format, a smaller size for prints, allows for intricate detail and a closer look at the daily life of the people during this time. This color woodblock print, created between 1837 and 1842, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school known as ukiyo-e. The print is part of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and Asia, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the continent's art and history. The natural scenery, from the lush plants and trees to the clear blue sky, adds to the overall sense of tranquility and wonder. This print, with its intricate details and stunning colors, is a must-see for any art enthusiast or history buff. It invites us to explore the past and appreciate the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige.
