EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Kanaya: The Far Bank of the Oi River (Kanaya, Oigawa engan)" from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" (Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi), showcases the picturesque town of Kanaya located in Shimada, Shizuoka, Japan. The print, created during the Edo period in the 19th century, depicts a serene scene of travelers crossing the Oi River at this station. The Oi River, a significant geographical feature, is seen as an estuary, with its blue waters merging with the grey-toned riverbank. The distant mountains in the background add a sense of depth and scale to the scene. The print is a color woodblock, and Hiroshige's masterful use of color is evident in the way he contrasts the blue water with the grey riverbank and the green mountains. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides important information about the location, including the name of the station and the artist's signature. The scene is bustling with activity, with men fording the river and others helping to transport goods across. Travelers on horseback and on foot can be seen making their way across the river, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the print. The group of men in the foreground, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of Japan during the Edo period. It is a valuable piece of heritage art that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and stunning composition.
