EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Shirasuka, 1840-42" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Shirasuka. Measuring 16.5x22.5 cm, this artwork is housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), a renowned Japanese artist known for his landscape prints, masterfully captures the essence of this maritime scene. The print showcases a stunning coastline with rolling hills and lush trees that create a serene backdrop against the vast sea. Intriguingly depicted are figures carrying poles on their shoulders as they traverse along country paths and roads. They appear to be balancing effortlessly while making their way towards an enchanting gazebo nestled amidst nature's beauty. Sailing boats dotting the horizon add an element of tranquility to this idyllic setting. It seems as though time has momentarily stopped here; perhaps these weary travelers have found respite during their journey and are taking a moment to rest before continuing onwards. The attention to detail in this woodblock print is remarkable - from the delicate brushstrokes capturing every wave crashing onto the shore to the intricate patterns adorning traditional Japanese attire worn by some figures. Transport yourself into this mesmerizing world where nature meets human endeavor through "Shirasuka". This exquisite piece exemplifies Utagawa Hiroshige's mastery in immortalizing landscapes and evoking emotions
