Okazaki, ca. 1838 - A Glimpse into the Tranquil Edo Period
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Ando Hiroshige takes us back to the serene landscape of Okazaki in the year 1838 during Japan's Edo period. The renowned artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical era through his polychrome woodblock print. The image showcases a picturesque scene along the Tokaido road, one of Japan's most important transportation routes at that time. In the foreground, we see beautifully crafted boats gracefully gliding on a tranquil river, symbolizing an essential mode of water transport during this period. A charming footbridge spans across the river, connecting two sides and providing access for pedestrians. Its elegant structure adds depth and harmony to the composition while inviting viewers to imagine themselves strolling along its path. Hiroshige's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings out every intricate detail in this heritage art piece. The vibrant hues depict lush greenery surrounding Okazaki, enhancing its natural beauty and geographical features. As we admire this artwork from centuries ago at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a window into Japanese history and culture. Hiroshige's contribution to ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) remains unparalleled even today. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time to experience Okazaki's tranquility during Japan's rich artistic legacy in the 19th century.
