EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 47: Oi, from the series 'Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido' (Kisokaido rokujukyu tsugi no uchi)," created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in the mid-19th century, captures a serene and picturesque scene of travelers making their way through a snowy landscape. The print, which is part of the larger series 'Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido,' depicts the forty-seventh station on the ancient Nakasendo trade route, located in the town of Oi. The image showcases four figures, two men and two women, bundled up against the cold weather as they make their way along the road. The back view of the figures provides a glimpse into their simple clothing and the practicality of their travels. In the foreground, a man helps a child cross a small stream, while another man and a woman look on. The snow is falling gently, adding to the peaceful and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The print is a beautiful example of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which was popular during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The color woodblock print is detailed and vibrant, with the use of color adding depth and texture to the image. The Oban-size print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as a master printer and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of Japan during this era. The 'Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido' series was a significant contribution to the artistic legacy of Japan, documenting the journey along the ancient trade route and capturing the spirit of travel and adventure during the Edo period. This particular print, No. 47: Oi, is a stunning representation of the series and a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art.
