EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Carp in the Tone River (Tonegawa no koi) is a captivating section from his Cutout Pictures of Famous Places in Edo (Edo meisho harimaze zue) series, created in 1857. This color woodblock print showcases the vibrant, turquoise waters of the Tone River teeming with carp, their scales shimmering in the sunlight. The estuary of the Tone River was a popular location during the Edo Period (1603-1868) and the Tokugawa Era (1603-1868), and Hiroshige masterfully captures its natural beauty and the abundance of aquatic life. Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Hiroshige I, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist, part of the artistic school that flourished in Japan during the 19th century. His work is characterized by its intricate detail, bold colors, and exquisite calligraphy. In this print, the close-up perspective allows for a detailed examination of the carp, their scales, and the ripples in the water. The carp, a symbol of prosperity and abundance in Japanese culture, add a sense of tranquility and harmony to the scene. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia and is a valuable addition to any art collection or institution. The Art Institute of Chicago, among other esteemed art centers and galleries, has preserved and showcased Hiroshige's work for future generations to appreciate. The Carp in the Tone River is not only a beautiful work of art but also a snapshot of the natural world and the cultural significance of the Tone River during the Edo Period.
