EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Hara" from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" (Gojusan tsugi), created in 1852, showcases a serene scene of travelers resting at a roadside station in the picturesque town of Hara, Nagano, Japan. The print, also known as the "Figure Tokaido" (Jinbutsu Tokaido), highlights the daily life and people of the Edo Period (1603-1868), a time of peace and prosperity in Japan. The print depicts three individuals, a man and two women, taking a break from their journey along the Tokaido Road, one of the most famous trade routes in Japan. The passerby, a man in a straw hat, glances back at the travelers, adding an element of curiosity to the scene. The trio is situated in front of a beautiful geographical feature, a cascading waterfall, which adds to the picturesque beauty of the print. Hiroshige, born as Ando Hiroshige I, was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, known for his mastery of color woodblock printing. This stunning chuban (medium-sized) print is a testament to Hiroshige's ability to capture the essence of Japan's landscape and people during the Tokugawa Period (1603-1868). The intricate details and vivid colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece of heritage art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of Japan during the 19th century.
