EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Yokkaichi: Nako Bay and the Mie River (Yokkaichi, Nako no ura Miekawa), no. 44 from the series Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue)," also known as the Vertical Tokaido, transports us back to the 19th century Japan. The print showcases the picturesque scene of Nako Bay and the Mie River in Yokkaichi, a city located in Mie Prefecture. The estuary of the Mie River is depicted as it meets the expansive blue bay, with a bridge connecting the two sides. The bridge, with its intricate wooden structure, serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer's attention to the crossing point. In the foreground, local people are shown going about their daily activities, adding a sense of life and energy to the scene. Men are seen on rooftops, perhaps repairing or maintaining their homes, while others are engaged in conversation on the riverbank. The distant horizon is dotted with the silhouettes of buildings and mountains, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. The print is a stunning example of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that focused on the depiction of the floating world, or the transient beauty of life. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The print also features a cartouche with the title and artist's name, adding to its historical significance. Overall, this print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige.
