Evening Snow at Kambara (number sixteen of the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido), 1833. The coastal town of Kambara rarely experiences snowfall. Illustrating falling snow is particularly suited to woodblock prints. The snowflakes are created by carving their shapes out of the woodblock. When the surface of the block is inked and printed, the carved areas are represented by the unprinted white paper. This print may be the first by Hiroshige to depict falling snow

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Evening Snow at Kambara" transports viewers to the coastal town of Kambara during a rare snowfall. Created in 1833 by renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, this woodblock print beautifully captures the essence of falling snowflakes, a technique perfectly suited for this medium. Each delicate snowflake is meticulously carved out of the woodblock, allowing the inked surface to represent their absence and create an ethereal effect against the white paper. This particular artwork holds significance as it may be Hiroshige's first depiction of falling snow. The tranquil scene portrays a serene winter evening with softly falling flakes blanketing the landscape. The subtle colors and intricate details showcase Hiroshige's mastery in capturing nature's beauty and evoking a sense of tranquility. As part of his series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" which depicts various stops along Japan's historic Tokaido road, this print stands out for its unique portrayal of Kambara covered in snow. It offers viewers a glimpse into a rarely seen aspect of life in this coastal town during wintertime. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this color woodblock print from the Edo period showcases not only Hiroshige's talent but also serves as an important piece within Japanese heritage art. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences today, transporting them to a moment frozen in time where evening snow transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary works of art.
