EDITORS COMMENTS
Minakuchi: The Famous Pines at the Foot of Mount Hiramatsu" is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Ichiryusai. This print is number 51 from the series "Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations," also known as the "Vertical Tokaido." The scene depicts the picturesque town of Minakuchi at the base of Mount Hiramatsu in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The print showcases the iconic pine trees that have long been a symbol of Minakuchi, their vibrant green hue contrasting beautifully against the backdrop of the mountain and the blue sky. The pines are framed by the winding road that leads travelers along the Tokaido, the historic road connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, two major cities during the Edo Period. The cartouche at the bottom right of the print includes the title, "Minakuchi, meisho Hiramatsu yama no fumoto," and the artist's name, "Hiroshige." The print's oban size and intricate detail demonstrate the masterful skill of Hiroshige and the artistic school of ukiyo-e. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty of its natural landscapes. The serene scene of Minakuchi and Mount Hiramatsu invites viewers to imagine the journey of travelers along the Tokaido, taking in the breathtaking scenery that Japan has to offer. Minakuchi: The Famous Pines at the Foot of Mount Hiramatsu is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige and the enduring beauty of Japan's natural wonders.
