EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Numazu, 1840-42" transports us back to 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 mesmerizing beauty of Numazu, a small town nestled amidst mountains and rivers. In the foreground, we see a bustling street with travelers making their way through on foot or mounted on donkeys. A quaint cafe provides a restful stopover for weary wanderers. The majestic Mount Fuji dominates the background, its snow-capped peak reaching towards the heavens. Its presence adds an aura of tranquility and grandeur to the entire composition. Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail brings life to every element within this artwork. From huts dotting the landscape to villagers going about their daily routines, each figure contributes to creating a vivid portrayal of rural Japanese life during that era. Through his masterful use of color and composition, Hiroshige captures both the serenity and vibrancy of Numazu's natural surroundings. This woodblock print serves as a testament to his ability to transport viewers into another time and place. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from centuries past, it reminds us of Japan's rich artistic heritage while offering glimpses into everyday existence long ago
