Mie River, Yokkaichi (Yokkaichi, Miegawa), from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Tokaido gojusan-tsugi no uchi)

Dateca. 1832-34
Maker Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese, 1797-1858
Label TextThe forty-third station on the Tokaido, Yokkaichi was a bustling seaport on Ise Bay. Rather than picturing a crowded cityscape, however, Hiroshige chose to show a low-lying river plain outside of town. In a funny, all-too-human moment, a gust of wind blows off a man's hat, and he scrambles to catch it. It is a charming, affecting scene infused with Hiroshige's distinctive sense of the enduring connection between man and nature. --Catherine Roche, Curatorial Associate, 2010
