Falls Kisokaido Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ono Falls on the Kisokaido," offers a glimpse into the picturesque beauty of Japan during the Edo period. Dated around 1833, the print was created as part of a series of woodcut images documenting the scenic stops along the historic Kisokaido, or the Old Kiso Road. The image showcases Ono Falls, a stunning waterfall located in the Kiso Valley. Travelers, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, are depicted in the foreground, gazing in awe at the falls. The cascading water, with its crystal-clear waters and frothy white rapids, tumbles down the rocky cliffside, creating a mesmerizing sight. To the sides of the falls, two quaint buildings can be seen, their thatched roofs blending seamlessly into the lush greenery that surrounds them. These structures are likely inns, or ryokans, where weary travelers would rest and refuel before continuing their journey along the Kisokaido. The intricate details in this woodblock print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ukiyo-e artists of the time. The delicate brushwork and precise carving techniques used to create this image have been preserved, allowing us to experience a piece of Japanese history and culture that spans over two centuries. This print is not only a visual representation of the natural wonders of Japan but also a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped the country's identity. The Ono Falls on the Kisokaido remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and allure of Japan's past.
