EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 47: Oi, from the series 'Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido' (Kisokaido rokujukyu tsugi no uchi)," created by Ando Hiroshige around 1835-38, captures a serene moment during a traveler's journey through Edo Period Japan. The print depicts the sixty-ninth station of the Nakasendo trade route, located in Ena, Gifu Prefecture. In the image, we see a family of four huddled together against the backdrop of a snowy landscape. The father, dressed in a formal kimono, holds a young boy on his back, while his wife carries a younger child in her arms. A man, possibly a travel companion, follows behind them, his face turned towards the viewer in a curious expression. The scene is set against a beautiful winter landscape, with snow falling gently from the sky and covering the ground in a pristine white blanket. The scenery is dotted with trees and houses, their outlines crisp and clear against the snow. The print is a stunning example of Hiroshige's mastery of color woodblock printing, with the muted tones of the winter landscape contrasting beautifully with the vibrant colors of the figures' clothing. The 'Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido' series was a popular artistic endeavor during the Tokugawa Period, documenting the journey along the Nakasendo trade route and showcasing the beauty and diversity of Japan's landscapes and people. This print, in particular, captures the essence of travel during this time, with the focus on the simple pleasures of family and the journey itself. The print is an oban size, measuring approximately 15 x 22 inches, and is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which valued the representation of everyday life and the natural world.
