Painting Description
"Les 53 Stations Du Tokaido, Mitsuke, Tenryu-gawa Zu" is a renowned woodblock print created by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This work is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), which was first published in the early 1830s. The series depicts the scenic views and daily life along the Tōkaidō road, the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period in Japan, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.
The print "Mitsuke, Tenryu-gawa Zu" specifically illustrates the Mitsuke station, one of the fifty-three stations along the Tōkaidō. This station was located near the Tenryū River, a significant and often challenging crossing for travelers of the time. Hiroshige's depiction captures the essence of the journey, portraying travelers navigating the river, often with the assistance of ferrymen. The composition highlights Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective, color, and detail to convey both the natural beauty and the human activity of the scene.
Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its poetic and atmospheric qualities, which evoke the transient nature of travel and the changing seasons. His ability to blend landscape with human presence creates a harmonious and dynamic representation of Edo-period Japan. "Mitsuke, Tenryu-gawa Zu" is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in capturing the spirit of the Tōkaidō road, making it a significant piece within the series and a valuable example of Japanese woodblock printing.
The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series was highly influential and remains one of the most iconic works in the ukiyo-e genre. Hiroshige's prints not only provide historical insight into the Edo period but also continue to inspire artists and art enthusiasts worldwide.
