EDITORS COMMENTS
Nissaka" is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," created around 1837-1842. This exquisite artwork showcases the station of Nissaka, located in the city of Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The scene unfolds with a vibrant and detailed depiction of the roadside, where travelers rest during their journey along the Tokaido Road. In the foreground, a group of men are shown carrying a palanquin, a type of sedan chair, suggesting the presence of an important passenger. A porter balances a large load atop his head, while another man pushes a cart filled with luggage. The tranquil landscape is dotted with quaint buildings, including a thatched-roof hut and a small shrine, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene pond. The print is adorned with intricate calligraphy and a cartouche that reads "Nissaka," adding to its artistic charm. The rich colors and bold lines characteristic of Hiroshige's style are evident, making this piece a stunning representation of the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The print measures approximately 12 x 17.5 cm (chuban size) and is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of Ando Hiroshige, a leading figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or a gallery showcasing the rich heritage of Japanese art and culture. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the 19th century, providing a unique perspective on the people, professions, and scenery of Japan during this period.
