EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Mouth of the Nakawaga River (Nakagawaguchi) is an exquisite example of the artist's mastery of the color woodblock print technique during the late 19th century in Japan. Part of his renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), this print showcases the estuary of the Nakagawa River, which flows into Edogawa in Tokyo. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the river's mouth framed by the curved banks and the clear blue-green water reflecting the vibrant colors of the boats and the clothing of the passengers. A man in traditional Japanese attire stands at the water's edge, gazing out at the boats as they make their way upstream. The boats, filled with passengers, add a sense of activity and movement to the serene landscape. The intricate details of the print, from the textured water to the individual strands of hair on the figures, demonstrate Hiroshige's exceptional artistic skill. The use of color, particularly the green hues, adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), a time when woodblock printing flourished and artists like Hiroshige pushed the boundaries of the medium. Today, it is a cherished piece of Asian art, showcased in galleries and museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago.
