EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Otsu 東海十三次 大津" takes us back to the Edo Period in Japan, specifically around 1840. Created by Utagawa Hiroshige, a renowned Japanese artist of that era, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts a scene along the Tokaido highway, which stretched for an impressive 290 miles from Nihonbashi in Tokyo to Kyoto. At the center of the composition stands the magnificent Great Sanjo Bridge in Otsu, serving as a crucial landmark on this arduous journey. Travelers would have spent ten days or even two weeks traversing these fifty-three stations along the route. Hiroshige's masterful use of ink and color brings life to every element within this artwork. The vibrant hues beautifully contrast against each other while capturing both natural landscapes and human activity with equal finesse. From bustling streets filled with merchants and pedestrians to serene views of mountains and rivers, this print encapsulates the essence of travel during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it was like for those who embarked on such journeys centuries ago. It serves as a testament not only to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance but also as a window into Japan's rich cultural heritage during one of its most iconic periods – the Edo Era
