EDITORS COMMENTS
Act XI Fifth Episode (Actually Fourth): Ronin Stopped from Crossing Ryogoku Bridge by Shogun's Representative" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between circa 1835 and circa 1839. This masterpiece is also known as "Ronin Stopped by Shogun's Representative at Ryogoku Bridge" and is part of the series "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," which is based on the famous Japanese drama "Kanadehon Chushingura" or "The Treasury of Loyal Retainers," also known as the "Tale of the Forty-Seven Ronin." The print depicts a pivotal moment in the Akō vendetta, a tale of loyalty and revenge, where ronin (masterless samurai) are stopped from crossing Ryogoku Bridge by the shogun's representative. The scene is set along the River Sumida, with the bridge connecting the two sides of the river. In the foreground, a determined rider on horseback, dressed in the traditional samurai attire, attempts to cross the bridge, while in the background, two other ronin are shown on horseback, obstructing their path. The representative, dressed in formal attire and carrying a sword, stands at the center of the bridge, blocking their way. The print showcases the intricate details of the 19th-century Japanese culture, with the animals in the background adding to the richness of the scene. The use of color and the skillful application of ink on paper create a stunning visual representation of this historical event. The print is a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or literature. This woodblock print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Ando Hiroshige and the importance of preserving cultural heritage through art.
