EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Miya, 1840-42" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us on a journey to the shores of Japan in the 19th century. Measuring at 16.5x23 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in The McManus museum located in Dundee, UK. The artwork showcases a bustling scene filled with boats and villagers going about their daily activities. A tugboat gracefully glides through the calm waters as it transports cargo from one port to another. In the foreground, figures can be seen taking a leisurely walk along the seafront, enjoying a peaceful stroll amidst picturesque landscapes. One cannot help but notice the vibrant red torii gates that mark the entrance to this lively harbor. These iconic symbols add an element of cultural significance to the artwork and serve as a reminder of Japan's rich heritage. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and intricate detailing brings life to every aspect of this print. From the meticulously crafted ships sailing on distant horizons to the charming village nestled against rolling hills, each element contributes to creating an immersive visual experience. This woodblock print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese history and culture during this period.
