EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Sumida River in 1829. Part of a horizontal pentaptych, this woodblock print by Eishi, Chobunsai showcases the vibrant and lively atmosphere along the river. Pleasure boats filled with elegantly dressed men and women can be seen near a picturesque bridge, engaging in various activities such as music, puppet shows, eating, and drinking. The composition of this artwork reflects the influence of Kiyonaga's style with its splendid arrangement. The delicate tint of the water remains true to its original state throughout the entire print, adding to its authenticity. As two birds gracefully fly across the bridge transoms, they become part of this dynamic depiction of life on Sumida River. This particular piece was exhibited at Fine Arts Society in 1909 and is currently housed at Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. The image showcases not only the beauty of nature but also provides insights into Japanese culture during the Edo period (1603-1868) or Tokugawa period.

The traditional attire worn by individuals adds an extra layer of cultural richness to this remarkable woodblock print. Overall, this print serves as a visual time capsule that transports viewers back to a vibrant era in Japanese history while highlighting both natural beauty and human activity along Sumida River.
