EDITORS COMMENTS
Strung-up Flounder, Wakasa Province" is a captivating woodblock print from the "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" series created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This masterpiece showcases the picturesque coastline of Wakasa Province in Japan during the Edo period. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene and vibrant coastal landscape, where fishermen are depicted in various stages of the flounder fishing process. In the foreground, a group of fishermen are shown working together to string up a fresh catch of flounder on a wooden pole. The flounder, a flatfish with a distinctive mottled pattern, are spread out on the ground, their eyes still gleaming with life. The fishermen, dressed in traditional attire and wearing straw hats, are deeply engrossed in their work, their faces expressing a sense of focus and determination. The print is rich in color and detail, with the red and white stripes of the fishermen's clothing contrasting beautifully with the blue-green hues of the sea and the surrounding foliage. The cartouche at the top left of the print bears the title "Wakasa karei o sasu" (Drying Flounder in Wakasa), and the signature of the artist, Hiroshige II, is inscribed at the bottom right. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Utagawa Hiroshige II, who masterfully captured the essence of the fishing community in Wakasa Province during the 19th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
