EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Wakasa Province: Fishing Boat Netting Flatfish (Wakasa, gyosen karei ami)" is a stunning representation of the daily life in the Wakasa Province of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). This print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue)" created in 1853. The image showcases a group of fishermen skillfully netting flatfish from their boats in the shallow waters of the Wakasa Bay. The vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding landscape contrast beautifully with the calm, serene waters. The fishermen, dressed in traditional clothing, are intently focused on their task, their determined expressions conveying the importance of their livelihood. The cartouche at the top of the print provides the title and location, while the artist's signature, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," is inscribed at the bottom right. The intricate details and delicate brushwork demonstrate Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty of its natural landscapes. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the connection between people and their environment. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this valuable piece in its collection, allowing us to enjoy and learn from the artistic legacy of Ando Hiroshige.
