EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print titled "View of Yui (Yui no zu)" by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III) takes us on a visual journey through the stunning landscapes of Japan. The artwork, housed in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, UK, is part of a series depicting the famous Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road. In this particular print, we are transported to a serene riverside scene with Mount Fuji majestically towering in the background. A woman clad in an elegant charcoal and blue kimono stands gracefully amidst orange clouds. She leans on a massive tree branch while her blue-mittened hands rest upon it. Hanging from this branch is a unique four-legged stand that extends over her back. The artist skillfully combines elements from Hiroshige's design for the First Tōkaidō to create this mesmerizing composition. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each element within the print. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into its world - imagining standing beside that woman as she contemplates nature's beauty or perhaps embarking on a ferry ride across the river below. This piece not only showcases Kunisada's artistic prowess but also invites us to appreciate Japan's natural wonders and cultural heritage captured through traditional woodblock printing techniques.
