Crossing Kimono Rooftops Stroll Strolling Travellers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fujisawa: the Yugyo-ji, or Shojoko-ji, Buddhist temple of the Ji sect" takes us on a journey back in time to 19th century Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa, this colour woodblock print is part of the renowned series Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido. The image showcases a picturesque landscape with a charming bridge crossing over a tranquil river. A group of travellers can be seen walking along the bridge, both male and female adorned in traditional kimono attire. The town's rooftops peek through lush greenery as they nestle amidst rural houses and architecture. As we delve into this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era where life moved at a slower pace and journeys were undertaken on foot. The Eastern coast road known as Tokaido served as the vital link between Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto during Japan's Edo period. This woodblock print not only captures the natural beauty of Fujisawa but also offers glimpses into Japanese culture and history. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling alongside these travellers, experiencing their sense of wonderment as they explore new landscapes. Displayed at Musees d'Angers in Angers, France, this artwork serves as a testament to Hiroshige's mastery in capturing fleeting moments that transcend time itself.
