EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Narumi, section of sheet no. 12 from the series "Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road," created in 1856, showcases the beauty and intricacy of traditional Japanese art. This color woodblock print is a part of the Reisho Tokaido series, also known as the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," which depicts the journey along the main road connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. The scene in this print captures the Narumi post town in Nagoya Aichi Chubu, Japan. The post town is bustling with activity, as travelers rest and prepare for the next leg of their journey. The image is dominated by a large, elegant crane standing in the foreground, its blue and grey feathers contrasting against the warm, earthy tones of the surrounding landscape. The crane, a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture, adds a touch of grace and serenity to the scene. The print is filled with intricate details, from the winding river and the thatched roofs of the buildings, to the people and animals that populate the scene. The use of color is masterful, with the muted blues and greys of the water and sky balancing the vibrant reds and oranges of the buildings and clothing. This print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the 17th to 19th centuries. It is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japanese culture during the Tokugawa period. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacy and detail of Hiroshige's work.
