EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Okitsu: The Okitsu River (Okitsu, Okitsugawa)" is a breathtaking representation of the fifty-third station on the Tokaido Road during the Edo period in Japan. The scene unfolds at the Okitsu estuary, where travelers on the Tokaido journey would cross the Okitsu River. Hiroshige masterfully captures the serene atmosphere of the location, with the gentle curve of the river, the calm reflection of the sky in its waters, and the picturesque village nestled on the riverbank. The print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as "Tokaido gojusan tsugi" or "Kyoka iri Tokaido." The series showcases the beauty and diversity of the landscapes and towns along the Tokaido Road, a major transportation route connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. The print is a chuban-sized color woodblock, featuring intricate details and delicate brushwork. The calligraphy in the cartouche adds a poetic touch, further emphasizing the artistic and cultural significance of the work. The scene is filled with activity, as people of all ages and genders ford the river, adding a sense of life and movement to the tranquil landscape. This stunning print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and moment in time. It is a valuable piece of Japanese heritage art, showcasing the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan during the 19th century.
