EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 22: Okabe, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" by Hokusai, is a captivating color woodblock print from the 19th century that transports us to the scenic landscape of Japan during the Edo period. The print showcases three weary travelers taking a rest at Okabe, a hill station near the Shunrō estuary in Shizuoka prefecture. The rider in the foreground, dressed in a red robe, leans against his horse, while two other men sit on the riverbank, one of whom is tying his luggage to the horse. The peaceful scene is set against the backdrop of a serene river and lush greenery, with the distant hills providing a sense of depth and perspective. Hokusai, whose given name was Katsushika Tokimasa, was a renowned Japanese artist known for his innovative and masterful use of color and composition. This print is a testament to his artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life during the Edo period. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" series, which includes this print, is one of Hokusai's most famous works and is considered a significant contribution to the history of Japanese art. The series depicts the journey along the Tokaido Road, a major highway that connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the former imperial capital. Each print in the series offers a unique glimpse into the various landscapes, towns, and people that travelers would encounter along the way. This stunning print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, art history, or Japanese culture. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
