EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Okazaki, section of sheet no. 10 from the series "Cutouts of the Fifty-three Stations..." (Gojusan tsugi harimaze), created in 1852, presents a captivating image of a lone female figure in traditional Japanese attire, standing before a circular pavilion in the picturesque town of Okazaki, Aichi, Japan. The intricately designed kimono she wears, with its vibrant purple hues and detailed patterns, reflects the artistic school of the Edo period. The woman's posture and the setting suggest a moment of pause, perhaps as she listens to the music of a musician, who is not visible in the print but implied by the scene. This color woodblock print, a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the medium, showcases the rich heritage of Asian arts and the intricacies of Japanese culture during the 19th century. The circular pavilion, a common architectural feature in Japanese landscapes, adds a sense of harmony and balance to the composition. The print's title, "Harimaze," translates to "cutouts of the fifty-three stations," referring to the famous series of prints that depicted the journey from Edo to Kyoto. This section of the series, uncut and in its original form, offers a glimpse into the artistic vision of Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Hiroshige Utagawa. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to house this significant work of art in its collection, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details and the historical significance of this masterpiece. The print's preservation ensures that future generations can continue to be inspired by the artistic legacy of Ando Hiroshige and the cultural heritage of Japan.
