EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, Okazaki: Yahagi Bridge (Okazaki, Yahagi no hashi), showcases the picturesque scene of the Yahagi Bridge in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. This stunning work of art is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, also known as the Hoeido Tokaido. Dating back to the 19th century, this color woodblock print is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Edo period. The bridge, spanning the tranquil Yahagi River, is depicted with intricate detail, from the wooden structure to the people and cartouche in the foreground. The bridge connects the two banks of the river, providing a vital link between the continents of Honshu and Honshu-Mikawa. The bridge's estuary setting adds to the serene atmosphere, with the blue river meeting the brown riverbank and the surrounding landscape showcasing a variety of colors. The print features a man and woman, dressed in traditional clothing, crossing the bridge, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The background is filled with the bustling activity of the shukuba, or waystations, as travelers make their way along the Tokaido Road. The bridge's significance as a famous sight of the fifty-three stations is highlighted by the vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. This masterpiece, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, is a must-see for anyone interested in the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the world. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Hiroshige's work and the history it represents.
