EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "View of Tsuchiyama" by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III) takes us on a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Japan. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this scene to life, transporting us to a rainy day in Tsuchiyama. In the foreground, we see a woman elegantly dressed in a blue kimono, her head covered with a black headcloth and clogs protecting her from the rain-soaked ground. Holding an umbrella above her, she bravely navigates through the zigzag path that cuts across lush paddyfields. The sky above is painted in striking shades of black and yellow as rain streams down, creating an atmosphere filled with both tranquility and mystery. To the right of the composition, we catch sight of a thatched shop where men clad in straw coats seek shelter from the elements. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot of everyday life along the Tokaido Road. This print is part of a series depicting the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road - an iconic route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during Japan's Edo period. It showcases not only Kunisada's artistic prowess but also pays homage to Hiroshige's original design for this particular station. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in UK, this artwork captures not only nature's beauty but also serves as a testament to human resilience against inclement weather conditions.
