EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Ishiyakushi, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print that captures a moment in time during the Edo period of Japan. The scene depicts four travelers on horseback making their way through a snowy landscape, with a man on foot leading a horse and another man carrying a bundle on his back. The cartouche at the top right of the print indicates that the location is Suzuka Mie Prefecture, Japan. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" was a popular series of prints that depicted the journey along the main road connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, two of Japan's most important cities during the Edo period. Hiroshige's prints were renowned for their beautiful scenery and attention to detail, and this print is no exception. The horses and riders are depicted with a sense of movement and energy, while the snowy landscape adds a sense of stillness and tranquility. The print is part of the artistic school known as ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." This artistic style focused on depicting the transient beauty of everyday life, and Hiroshige's prints are a testament to this tradition. The use of color and the intricate details in the print showcase the skill and artistry of the printmaker, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this print in its collection, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this work. The print is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural traditions.
