EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 14: Takasaki, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, created around 1835 or 1838. This work of art is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The print depicts the forty-fourth station of the Kisokaido, an ancient road that connected Kyoto and Edo (present-day Tokyo). The station is located in Takasaki, Gumma Prefecture, Japan. The scene unfolds at the riverbank of the Tone Estuary, where the Nakasendo Road intersects with the Kisokaido. The print showcases a bustling scene of activity, with people from all walks of life gathered along the roadside. A man and a woman rest under a shelter, while a street vendor sells his wares to passersby. A street trader balances a large basket on his head, while a group of men work on the riverbank, possibly repairing a boat. In the foreground, a man with a large mouth, perhaps a street seller or vendor, calls out to potential customers. A man in a hat and robe walks along the road, while a woman in traditional Japanese attire makes her way to the riverbank. The print is a masterclass in composition and color, with the vibrant hues of the clothing and the natural colors of the landscape coming together to create a beautiful and harmonious image. The print's oban size (large format) adds to its grandeur, making it a true work of art that transports us to a different time and place. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture. It is a precious heritage piece that showcases the beauty and richness of Japan's artistic past.
