EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Ejiri, 1840-42" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us on a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Japan in the 19th century. Measuring at 17x22.5 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. Utagawa Hiroshige was a renowned Japanese artist who beautifully captured the essence of his homeland through his art. In this particular print, he skillfully depicts Ejiri Juku, a small town nestled amidst mountains and rice fields. The focal point of the artwork is undoubtedly Mount Fuji standing majestically in the background. Its snow-capped peak contrasts against the vibrant greenery surrounding it and serves as a symbol of tranquility and beauty. As we explore further into the scene, we encounter winding roads and streets that lead us to huts and cottages where villagers go about their daily lives. The thatched roofs add an element of rustic charm to this rural setting. Travellers can be seen making their way along these paths, adding a sense of movement to an otherwise serene landscape. Their presence reminds us that life continues to unfold even amidst such breathtaking scenery. Hiroshige's attention to detail is evident throughout this print - from the meticulous depiction of each figure to the subtle nuances in shading and color choice. This masterpiece truly transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Japan's rich cultural heritage
