EDITORS COMMENTS
Nichomachi in Fuchu" is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1856. This particular print is the sixth section of sheet no. 6 from the series, also known as Harimaze in Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan. The image portrays a solitary figure, clad in traditional Japanese attire, standing in front of a dimly lit theatre district in Nichomachi, Fuchu. The orange hue of the lanterns and the buildings casts an ethereal glow over the scene, highlighting the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the night. The print showcases the intricate details of the architectural structures, the intricacy of which is a testament to the artistic skill of Hiroshige. The Tokaido Road was a significant trade route during the Edo Period, connecting the eastern and western parts of Japan. This print captures the essence of a stopover at one of the stations along the road, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the people during that era. The print is a masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, which focused on the depiction of the floating world, or the ephemeral beauty of life. This stunning work of art is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, adding to its rich collection of Asian art. The print's uncut sheet, with the title "Section of Harimaze Sheet, Uncut Sheet 19391301," is a valuable addition to any art centre or gallery, showcasing the artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details continue to captivate audiences, making it a timeless piece of art that transcends cultural boundaries.
