EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'The Parting Depth of the Three-pronged River (Mitsumata Wakarenofuchi)' is a stunning color woodblock print from his renowned series 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei)' created in 1857. This work of art portrays the scenic estuary of the Naka River in Fukuoka, Japan, during the Edo period. The river, known for its three-pronged shape, is depicted as it meets the sea, creating a vast expanse of water with a sense of depth and distance. Boats filled with fisherfolk and fishermen can be seen in the foreground, casting their nets and preparing for a day of fishing. The red light district of Nakasu is visible in the background, with its distinctive buildings and bustling activity. The print's cartouche, located at the bottom right, provides the title and artist's name. The use of color in this print is masterful, with the blue hues of the water contrasting beautifully with the red and orange tones of the buildings and boats. The print's composition expertly conveys the concept of the vastness of the continent and the country, while also highlighting the intricacies of daily life in Edo Japan. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history, and a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic schools of the 19th century.
