EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 19: Karuizawa, 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 depicts a serene scene of travelers taking a rest at the station of Karuizawa in Nagano, Japan, during the Edo period. The print showcases the beautiful scenery of the countryside, with rolling fields and farmland stretching out before the travelers. A campfire blazes in the foreground, casting a warm glow over the scene and providing a cozy respite for the weary travelers. Two men and a woman sit around the fire, while a horse and a horseback rider are also present. The artist masterfully uses color to bring the scene to life, with the vibrant orange and red hues of the campfire contrasting against the cool blues and greens of the night sky and the surrounding landscape. The smoke from the fire rises up into the sky, adding an element of depth and texture to the image. This print is considered a masterpiece of the Utagawa school of artistic tradition in Japan, and is part of the larger series known as "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido." The Kisokaido was an ancient road that connected the capital city of Edo with Kyoto, and this series of prints depicted various stations and scenes along the way. Today, this beautiful work of art can be found in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is cherished as a valuable piece of cultural heritage and a testament to the artistic skill of Ando Hiroshige.
