EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Iwami Province: Salt Beaches near Takatsu Hill (Iwami, Takatsuyama shiohama)" is a breathtaking depiction of the coastline of Iwami Province, Japan, from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue)" created in 1853. The print showcases the stunning scenery of the salt flats, with the crystal clear waters of the sea lapping against the shores, and the distinctive green color of the salt crystals contrasting beautifully with the blue waters and the brown hills in the background. The print also features several figures, both male and female, going about their daily activities, adding a sense of life and movement to the scene. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title and the name of the artist, Ando Hiroshige, and the name of the publisher, Utagawa Hiroshige. The print is executed in the oban size, a common format for prints during the Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Ando Hiroshige, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art." "The scene depicted in the print is located in the Iwami Province, on the coast of the Sea of Japan. The salt flats, or shiohama, were an important source of income for the local people, who would collect and process the salt for sale. The hill in the background, Takatsu Hill, is a prominent geographical feature in the area, and is likely depicted to provide a sense of scale and context to the scene. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life and the natural beauty of Japan during the 19th century, making it an invaluable piece of cultural and artistic heritage.
