EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "View of Maisaka" takes us on a visual journey through the beauty of Japan. Created by Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, this colourful artwork showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of Japanese landscapes and culture. The print depicts a serene scene with a backdrop inspired by Hiroshige's design for the First Tokaido. Against a band of slate clouds stands an elegant woman dressed in a vibrant blue kimono adorned with a striking red floral obi. She delicately holds a blue cloth, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. Beyond her presence, we are greeted by towering pines and sailing boats gently swaying on the fjord waters. The white outline of Mount Fuji majestically rises in the distance, creating an awe-inspiring contrast against its dark surroundings. Published by Sanoya Kihei (Kikakud?) and signed by K?ch?r? Kunisada ga, this woodblock print is part of the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road". Its intricate details and use of vibrant colours make it an exquisite piece that transports viewers to another time and place. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this artwork offers us not only a glimpse into traditional Japanese art but also invites us to appreciate nature's tranquillity while celebrating cultural heritage.
