EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Kuwana, section of sheet no. 10 from the series "Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido," created around 1848-52, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of Edo Period Japan. This color woodblock print showcases a woman in traditional Japanese attire, standing at the side of the road in Kuwana, Mie prefecture. The intricate details of her kimono, with its vibrant patterns and flowing sleeves, are expertly rendered in the artist's masterful use of color and block printing techniques. The woman holds a pair of chopsticks in one hand, suggesting that she is about to take a meal, while the other hand rests on her hip. Her expression is serene, as she gazes off into the distance, perhaps waiting for the arrival of travelers along the Tokaido trade route. The base of the print features the title, "Harimaze," indicating that this is a section of that series. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, with the vibrant colors of the woman's kimono contrasting against the muted tones of the background. The artist's skillful use of negative space and the cutout effect adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a standout piece of artistic expression from the 19th century. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion, food, and trade during that time. It is a must-see for any art enthusiast, particularly those with an interest in Asian art or the works of Ando Hiroshige.
