EDITORS COMMENTS

Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Selling Armor to a Scrap Metal Merchant," transports us back to the Edo Period of Japan in the mid-19th century. The scene unfolds with three figures engaged in a lively negotiation, set against the backdrop of a bustling urban environment. In the foreground, a determined armor seller, dressed in a traditional Japanese robe, presents his wares to a skeptical scrap metal merchant. The merchant, with a calculating expression, examines the armor pieces with a pair of tongs, assessing their worth. A bystander, perhaps a fellow merchant or an interested onlooker, observes the interaction from a distance. The intricate details of the print reveal the rich textures and colors of the era. The armor, with its intricate patterns and ornate designs, contrast sharply with the rough, industrial surroundings of the scrap metal merchant's shop. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the scene, bringing the characters and their surroundings to life. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige, a master of the Ukiyo-e style. The print is part of the "Humorous Pictures of Women" series, reflecting the artist's ability to capture the human condition with humor and insight. Today, this rare and valuable piece is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
