EDITORS COMMENTS
Shinagawa" is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido." This masterpiece, created around 1837-1842, showcases the bustling scene at Shinagawa, a station located in present-day Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period. The print is also known as "Tokaido with Poem" or "Reisho Tokaido." Hiroshige's artistic brilliance is evident in the vibrant colors and intricate details of this chuban-sized print. The scene unfolds along the Tokaido Road, with the horizon line dividing the land and the sea. The coastline is dotted with shops and houses, their rooftops forming a mosaic against the sky. The busy street is filled with men and women, some engaging in daily activities, while others rest at the station. The print's cartouche features calligraphy by Reisho, adding an elegant touch to the composition. The image is a snapshot of life during the Edo period, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print's geographical feature, Shinagawa, is a significant location along the Tokaido Road, serving as a gateway to the capital city, Edo (present-day Tokyo). This color woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as a master printmaker and his ability to capture the essence of daily life during the Edo period. The print is an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history, showcasing the artistic school's unique approach to landscape and narrative storytelling. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport viewers to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich artistic and cultural heritage.
