EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Shinagawa: Departure of a Daimyo," depicts a pivotal moment in the daily life of feudal Japan during the mid-1830s. This exquisite color woodblock print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō." The scene unfolds at Shinagawa, the second station on the Tōkaidō Road, which connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. In the image, a daimyo, or feudal lord, is shown bidding farewell to his family and retainers as he prepares to embark on a journey. The daimyo stands on the shore, gazing out at the boats anchored in the bay. His wife, dressed in elegant traditional attire, clings to him, her eyes filled with sadness and concern. Servants and samurai attendants stand nearby, their expressions a mix of solemnity and anticipation. The print masterfully captures the bustling activity of the roadside, with people and animals moving about, and the vibrant colors of the housing and boats contrasting against the natural beauty of the coastline. The sailboats in the foreground, ready to set sail, add a sense of urgency and excitement to the scene. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and offers a glimpse into the daily life of a daimyo and his entourage during their travels. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this magnificent work of art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Hiroshige's masterful storytelling through his art.
