Painting Description
"Shinagawa: Departure of a Daimyo" (品川, 大名の出立), also known as "Sunrise No. 2" from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (東海道五十三次), is a renowned ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. Created in the Edo period, this print is part of Hiroshige's most famous series, which depicts the fifty-three post stations along the Tōkaidō, the coastal road linking Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.
This particular print captures the bustling atmosphere of Shinagawa, the first post station from Edo on the Tōkaidō road. The scene is set at dawn, with the early light of the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The composition features a daimyo (feudal lord) procession, illustrating the importance of Shinagawa as a departure point for these powerful figures as they traveled in grand style. The daimyo and his retinue are depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing Hiroshige's skill in portraying figures and daily life.
Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its masterful use of perspective, color, and composition, which brings to life the varied landscapes and seasons of Japan. "Shinagawa: Departure of a Daimyo" is no exception, with its vivid portrayal of the early morning and the activities of travelers and locals. The print is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the Edo period, as well as a piece of art that continues to influence and inspire.
As part of the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, this print contributed to Hiroshige's reputation as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre. The series was immensely popular in Japan and later in the West, where it played a significant role in shaping the European impressionist and post-impressionist movements. Today, "Shinagawa: Departure of a Daimyo" is held in high esteem by collectors and scholars alike, and it remains an iconic example of Hiroshige's legacy in the world of Japanese art.
