EDITORS COMMENTS
Kyoto: Evening Cool at Shijo" is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1852. This masterpiece is part of the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the "Figure Tokaido," which depicts various scenes along the famous Tokaido Road in Japan during the Edo period. The print showcases the bustling Shijo district in Kyoto during the evening hours. The scene is bathed in a soothing olive green and brown color palette, reflecting the coolness of the evening. The background is filled with the silhouettes of buildings and figures, adding depth and texture to the image. The focus of the print is on a group of women dressed in elegant kimonos, standing in the foreground. Their intricately designed clothing, with vibrant patterns and rich colors, contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the background. The women appear deep in conversation, their expressions suggesting a sense of camaraderie and relaxation. The print also showcases the fashion trends of the time, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Japan during the Edo period. The attention to detail in the clothing, the background people, and the overall composition of the print make it a valuable piece of artistic heritage. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, which allowed him to create intricate and detailed images that captured the essence of his subjects. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of Japan during the Edo period. This beautiful work of art is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
