EDITORS COMMENTS
Traveling at Night in the Hakone Mountains on the Border of Izu and Sagami Provinces," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Hakone Mountains during the nighttime hours. Created between 1830 and 1844 during the Edo period, this piece is part of Hiroshige's famous series, "Famous Places in the Various Provinces." The image portrays a group of men making their way through a dark, mountainous landscape. The gradient of black and dark colors dominates the print, with only the faint glow of lanterns and the moon casting light on the scene. The men, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, are silhouetted against the backdrop of the mountainside, their faces obscured by the darkness. The mountains themselves are depicted with intricate detail, their jagged peaks and winding paths providing a sense of depth and texture. The landscape is further enhanced by the inclusion of a cave or cavern, its entrance illuminated by the light of a lantern. The natural beauty of the setting is juxtaposed with the man-made structures, such as the bridge and the mill wheel, which add a sense of human presence to the scene. The print is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the plants and trees lining the mountainside to the intricate cartouche at the bottom, which includes the title and artist's signature. This stunning work of art offers a glimpse into the geography and heritage of Japan during the 19th century, transporting viewers to a time and place far removed from their own. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful print in its collection, a testament to the enduring legacy of Ando Hiroshige and the artistic school of ukiyo-e.
