EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "No. 48 Seki: Early departure from the Honjin From 53 Stations of the Tokaido" transports us to ancient Japan with its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in approximately 1834, this artwork measures 22.5x34.5 cm and is housed in the esteemed Free Library of Philadelphia. The image depicts a serene scene at dawn as two men bid farewell to their temporary lodging, known as the Honjin. The figures are dressed in traditional Japanese attire, exuding an air of elegance and grace amidst the picturesque surroundings. The artist masterfully captures the essence of early morning tranquility through delicate brushstrokes and a harmonious color palette. As we gaze upon this woodcut print, we are transported along the historic Tokaido road - a vital route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during Japan's Edo period. Each station along this renowned path offered respite for weary travelers like these gentlemen before continuing their arduous journey. Hiroshige's work belongs to ukiyo-e, a popular genre that flourished during this era characterized by its depiction of everyday life and natural beauty. With meticulous attention to detail and an innate understanding of composition, he invites us into his world where time seems suspended. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess while offering us a glimpse into Japan's storied past
