EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Maisaka, section of sheet no. 7 from the series Cutout Pictures of the Tokaido Road' (c. 1848/52), also known as 'Harimaze, Maisaka' or 'Part of Harimaze, Sheet Uncut, No. 19391299,' is a stunning color woodblock print from the Edo period of Japan. This artwork is a part of the larger series 'Tokaido Harimaze Zue,' which depicted the scenic stops along the famous Tokaido trade route. The print showcases the picturesque town of Maisaka, located in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the blue coastline visible in the distance. The calm waters reflect the vibrant colors of the town, which is bustling with activity. The town's name, 'Harimaze,' translates to 'coastal barrier,' and the print captures the essence of this coastal location. The print is known for its intricate details and beautiful use of color. The green color dominates the scene, with various shades of green used to depict the foliage and the rolling hills. The blue of the sea and the sky contrast beautifully with the greens, adding depth and dimension to the print. The use of calligraphy adds to the artistic beauty of the piece, with the title 'Maisaka' written in elegant script at the bottom right corner. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, or Utagawa Hiroshige, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist of the 19th century. His works are celebrated for their attention to detail and their ability to capture the beauty and essence of the world around him. This print is a testament to his artistic skill and his ability to transport viewers to another time and place through his art.
