EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print from 1857, titled "Hatsune riding grounds, Bakuro-chō" by Hiroshige Utagawa, transports us back to the bustling streets of Tokyo in the 19th century. The print measures 55.6x40.6 cm and is housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with Asian charm and cultural richness. In the foreground, we see Hatsune riding grounds, a popular gathering spot for locals during that time period. The area is teeming with activity as people go about their daily lives - some on foot, others on horseback. Surrounding the riding grounds are traditional Japanese buildings and temples adorned with colorful flags fluttering in the breeze. These architectural marvels stand tall against a backdrop of lush gardens and towering trees. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this color woodcut masterpiece. Through bokashi (tonal gradation), Hiroshige creates depth and dimension within the print, making it come alive before our eyes. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to another era - one where tradition meets modernity; where nature intertwines with urban life; where serenity coexists alongside bustling energy. This woodblock print serves as a window into Japan's rich history and offers us an opportunity to appreciate its beauty through artistry that has stood the test of time.
