EDITORS COMMENTS
Shimosa Province: Choshi Beach on the Outer Bay" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1853. Part of Hiroshige's famous series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), this print showcases the picturesque Choshi Beach on the Outer Bay in the province of Shimosa, now known as Chiba, Japan. The print depicts a serene scene of the beach, with the calm blue bay stretching out to meet the horizon. A headland juts out into the water, creating a protective cove where fisherfolk can be seen mending their nets and preparing their boats for the day's catch. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are engrossed in their work, oblivious to the observer. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, with the green foliage of the trees and shrubs contrasting beautifully with the blue water and the white sands of the beach. The cartouche at the top of the print bears the title and the name of the artist, Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Hiroshige Utagawa. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Hiroshige, who was a leading figure of the Edo Period (1603-1868) in Japan. His work is celebrated for its ability to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world, as well as the everyday life of the people of his time. Today, "Shimosa Province: Choshi Beach on the Outer Bay" is a cherished piece of Asian art history, and can be found in many prestigious art institutions and galleries around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago in the United States.
