EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Badger" from the series "Mirror of Stone Rubbings of Views of the Provinces" (Kohon meihitsu ishizuri kagami), showcases the artist's exceptional talent in capturing the essence of nature during the Edo period of Japan (1603-1868). This print, a testament to the Ukiyo-e artistic school, depicts a badger in a thoughtful pose, with one paw raised and its head tilted, as if in deep contemplation. The intricate details of the badger's fur, wrinkles, and expressive eyes are beautifully rendered, making it a standout piece in the series. Hiroshige's "Mirror of Stone Rubbings of Views of the Provinces" was a departure from his usual landscapes and cityscapes, instead focusing on various animals native to Japan. This print, created during the Tokugawa period, is a prime example of Hiroshige's versatility as an artist. The woodblock print process, which involved carving the design into a block and then pressing ink onto paper, resulted in the intricate and detailed image we see today. The badger, a common animal in Japan, is depicted in a natural setting, with its surroundings skillfully captured in the background. The print's title, "Harimaze," refers to the method of creating the print by rubbing a stone over the carved design to transfer the image onto paper. This technique was popular during the Edo period and is reflected in the name of the series. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this piece in its holdings, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Hiroshige's work.
