EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "The Suruga District in the Eastern Capital (Toto Suruga-cho)" from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)" created in 1858, offers a vivid glimpse into the daily life of the Edo Period in Japan. The print showcases a bustling street corner in the Suruga District of the Eastern Capital (present-day Tokyo), with a group of men dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including kimonos and hats, gathered around a musician playing a musical instrument. In the background, the iconic Mount Fuji, symbolically represented by the name "Fousi Yama" (Fuji-san), stands majestically amidst the rolling hills and blue mountains, its snow-capped peak reaching towards the clear, colorful sky. The intricate details of the clothing, the vibrant colors, and the meticulous block printing techniques used by Hiroshige and his collaborator, Utagawa Hiroshige, bring this scene to life, offering a window into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The print, which measures approximately 36.5 x 25.5 cm (oban size), is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the beauty of the floating world, or the ephemeral pleasures of life. This masterpiece is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
