EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's No. 32: Seba from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido (Kisokaido Rokujukyu Tsugi no Uchi), c. 1835/38, is a stunning color woodblock print that captures the serene beauty of a late evening scene along the Kisokaido road in Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts a man, identified as Seba, standing in a small boat, pushing off from the shore as he prepares to punt himself along the calm waters. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape, illuminating the vibrant greens of the surrounding plants and trees. In the background, the silhouette of a mountain range can be seen, adding depth and a sense of vastness to the scene. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and a rich color palette that bring the scene to life. The use of oban size and the horizontal format emphasizes the expansiveness of the scenery, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the image. Seba, the man in the boat, is a common figure in Hiroshige's prints, representing the travelers who would make their way along the Kisokaido road, connecting Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo period. The series, which consists of sixty-nine stations, was a popular artistic school project that showcased the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Japan. The print also reflects the scientific and astronomical interests of the time, with the solar system and the sun depicted in the sky above. Overall, No. 32: Seba is a captivating work of art that transports the viewer to a bygone era, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the wonders of nature.
