EDITORS COMMENTS
Untitled Drawing, for the series English Title (Hizakurige kimama dochu), n. d. by Ando Hiroshige captures a comical scene from 19th century Japan. In this print, a man is seen holding his nose while lifting up a pole with a piece of fabric attached to it. The onlookers on the balcony above are taken aback by this peculiar sight. Ando Hiroshige, renowned for his ukiyo-e prints, skillfully depicts the architectural features of traditional Japanese houses in intricate detail. The delicate lines and use of ink and red pigment on paper showcase his artistic prowess. The setting appears to be a serene garden adorned with pine trees, characteristic of the Edo period's natural aesthetics. As the man gestures towards an unknown source of smell or stench, one cannot help but chuckle at this amusing moment captured by Hiroshige's keen eye. This artwork not only offers glimpses into daily life during Tokugawa period but also showcases Hiroshige's ability to infuse humor into his compositions. It is housed in the Art Institute Chicago as part of their extensive collection celebrating Asian art. Through this image, viewers are transported back in time to experience both the beauty and lightheartedness that defined Japanese culture during the 19th century.
