EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Shimosa Province: The Outer Bay at Choshi Beach (Shimosa, Choshi no hama Toura)" from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue)" dates back to 1853. This exquisite work of art, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige (also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige or Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiryusai), showcases the breathtaking beauty of Choshi Beach in the Shimosa Province of Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts a serene coastal scene with the outer bay stretching out to the horizon, dotted with small boats and fishermen going about their daily activities. The beach is bustling with people, both men and women, engaging in various tasks or simply enjoying the picturesque view. The cartouche at the bottom left corner of the print provides the title and artist's name. The rich colors and intricate details of this oban-size print are a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Hiroshige. The use of block printing technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. The print also serves as an excellent representation of the geographical features of Japan during the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the country's coastal landscapes and the lives of its people. This stunning work of art is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a different time and place, inviting us to explore the beauty and diversity of the Asian continent.
