EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Hakone, 1840-42" transports us back to the mesmerizing landscapes of 19th-century Japan. Created by the renowned artist Hiroshige, also known as Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), this artwork measures 16.5x22.5 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The scene depicted in this print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Hakone, a region famous for its majestic mountains and picturesque paths. The viewer is immediately drawn into a world where nature reigns supreme, with towering peaks dominating the horizon. Intriguingly, amidst this serene setting, we witness an unexpected element: fire burning brightly along a stone track. This fiery spectacle adds an air of mystery and excitement to the composition. A group of men can be seen carrying kago—traditional Japanese seating or litter—along these rocky roads. Their presence suggests that this artwork captures a moment from daily life in historic Japan when such modes of transport were common. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and intricate detailing brings every aspect of this scene to life—the vibrant hues contrasting with the natural beauty surrounding them. As we gaze upon this woodblock print, we are transported not only through time but also into an enchanting realm where nature intertwines with human activity—a testament to Hiroshige's skill as both an artist and storyteller.
