EDITORS COMMENTS
Fuchu: Miroku nichome, Abekawa (Fuchu, Abekawa Miroku nichome), no. 20" is a stunning color woodblock print from the famous series "Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue)" by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige or Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Ichiryusai. This print, created in the 19th century during the Edo period, depicts the bustling scene at Fuchu, a post station located in the province of Aoi Ku, Shizuoka, Japan. The print showcases the entrance to the town of Fuchu, with the misty Abekawa River flowing beneath the rooftops. The grey evening sky is filled with a sense of tranquility and serenity, as people go about their business in the town. The print is a beautiful representation of the busy trade route, the Tokaido, which connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Tokugawa period. The print is detailed with intricate cartouches and a conceptual design that highlights the importance of the post stations along the Tokaido, which served as essential stops for travelers and merchants. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the beauty of the natural world and the human experience. This Oban-sized print is now a valuable heritage art piece, showcased in various art centers, galleries, and art institutes around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Asia and the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic traditions of the past.
