EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kisarazu in Kazusa Province (Kazusa Kisarazu)" from the series "Wrestling Matches between Mountains and Seas (Sankai mitate zumo)" dates back to 1858, during the Tokugawa period in Japan. This stunning piece of art is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo era. The print depicts a scenic view of Kisarazu, a coastal town located in Kazusa Province, Chiba Prefecture. The image is filled with a vibrant color palette, with the clear blue waters of the sea contrasting beautifully with the lush greenery of the mountains in the background. Boats of various sizes are docked along the shore, with fishermen and other locals going about their daily activities. The title "Wrestling Matches between Mountains and Seas" suggests a playful and whimsical interpretation of the natural world, with the mountains and the sea depicted as wrestling opponents. The print also showcases the oban size, a popular format for ukiyo-e prints during the Edo period. The intricate details of the print are evident in the way the artist has captured the textures of the water, the folds of the clothing of the figures, and the intricate patterns of the boats. The print also features a large number of background people, adding to the sense of activity and bustle of the scene. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japan's artistic heritage during the Edo period. The print invites the viewer to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, as depicted through the eyes of a master artist like Ando Hiroshige.
