EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, "Kanagawa: View over the Sea from the Teahouses on the Hill" (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue, no. 4), showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Japanese coastline during the Edo period. The scene is set in the province of Kanagawa, overlooking the sea from the teahouses on a hill. The serene landscape is bathed in the soft glow of the evening sun, casting long shadows over the boats anchored in the bay. The full moon rises majestically in the sky, illuminating the water and adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The print is a part of Hiroshige's famous series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road," which depicted the journey from Edo to Kyoto along the Tokaido highway. The oban-size print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with intricate details and delicate brushwork. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location and the artist, Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Utagawa Hiroshige. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the 19th century, with figures of men and women in traditional clothing going about their business. The geographical feature of the coastline is depicted with great accuracy, reflecting the artist's keen observation and understanding of the natural world. The print also showcases the scientific knowledge of astronomy, with the moon and stars accurately depicted in the night sky. Overall, this stunning work of art is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic vision and mastery of the woodblock printing technique.
