EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the serene landscape of 19th-century Japan with this stunning woodcut print by Ando Hiroshige, created around 1855. Titled 'Okabe, the 22nd Station on the Tōkaidō Road', this vibrant piece captures a moment in time as pilgrims make their way along the ancient route that connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.
The composition is masterfully balanced, with a gentle stream running through the valley floor and towering mountains rising up in the background. A small thatched-roof shelter provides a sense of refuge for weary travelers, while pilgrims themselves are depicted walking quietly along the winding path. The colors used are bold and rich, with shades of blue and green dominating the scene.
Hiroshige's attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate folds of clothing to the delicate branches of trees. This print not only showcases his technical skill but also his ability to evoke a sense of atmosphere and mood. As we gaze upon this tranquil scene, we're transported back in time to an era when travel was slow and contemplative.
This beautiful print is part of Liszt Collection's impressive archive of Japanese art, offering us a glimpse into a bygone era that continues to captivate us today.
