EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Hamamatsu" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," transports us to the Edo Period of Japan (1837/42). This exquisite chuban (medium-sized) print showcases the bustling town of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, a significant stop along the Tokaido Road. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life. In the foreground, we see a group of people gathered around a cartouche, reading aloud a poem about the station. A horseback rider approaches from the left, while a man on foot and a woman in traditional attire walk along the road. In the background, we see a series of houses and buildings, with rooftops offering glimpses into the daily life of the town. The print's cartouche, located at the bottom right, bears the calligraphy of Reisho, adding an additional layer of artistic beauty to the piece. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition creates a stunning visual representation of Hamamatsu during the Edo Period. This print is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on the depiction of everyday life and the natural world. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series is one of Hiroshige's most famous works, and this print is a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast interested in Japanese culture and the Edo Period.
