EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Okitsu, 1840-42" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us on a journey to the coastal village of Okitsu in 19th century Japan. Measuring 17x22.5 cm, this exquisite piece is housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of maritime life and the tranquility of the coastline. In this scene, we see villagers going about their daily routines against a backdrop of rolling waves and a picturesque shoreline. The intricate details showcase the mastery of Japanese artistry with figures donning traditional straw hats known as jingasa. As our gaze wanders through the print, we are drawn to the roads and streets that wind their way through Okitsu's charming village. The artist skillfully depicts villagers wading through water while engaged in fishing activities - an integral part of their livelihoods. Hiroshige's use of vibrant colors brings this scene to life, evoking a sense of serenity and harmony between man and nature. Each brushstroke tells a story; each element invites us to immerse ourselves in this idyllic coastal setting. This woodblock print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical window into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Edo period. It transports us back in time to experience firsthand the beauty and simplicity found within Okitsu's shores.
