EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Matsuida, Station 17, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō, painted in the 1830s, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period. The scene unfolds at Matsuida Station, located in Annaka, Gunma Prefecture, along the historic Nakasendo trade route. The print showcases the picturesque beauty of the Japanese countryside, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and a serene hillside dotted with trees. At the center of the composition, three local people are seen resting by the side of the road, their attention drawn to a mule train making its way up the hill. The mules, heavily laden with goods, are a testament to the bustling trade that once thrived along the Kisokaidō. The print also features a solitary tree, its vibrant autumn foliage contrasting against the cool, muted tones of the landscape. Ando Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition in this woodblock print not only captures the essence of the geographical features of the region but also highlights the interplay between nature and human activity. The print is a significant work of heritage art from the 19th century, reflecting the rich history and cultural traditions of Asia, and is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
