EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige, titled "Japan: Tokaido Road, c1870" offers a glimpse into the changing landscape of Japan during the late Meiji period. The image showcases the iconic Tokaido Road that connected Tokyo and Kyoto, with telegraph wires strung on living trees lining the dirt road. The juxtaposition of traditional elements like rickshaws and ancient trees with modern technology symbolizes Japan's rapid westernization and embrace of new forms of communication. It reflects a pivotal moment in history when old traditions were merging with advancements brought about by industrialization. Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this print, capturing not only the physical features but also conveying a sense of movement and energy along the bustling road. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to each element within the composition, making it come alive. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported back in time to witness an era where tradition met progress. It serves as a reminder of how societies evolve over time while still holding onto their roots. This woodblock print from Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection is not just a visual masterpiece; it also represents an important historical document that encapsulates Japan's journey towards modernity.
