EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's iconic print, "Ichikoku Bridge in the Eastern Capital (Toto Ichikokubashi)" from the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)" captures the serene beauty of the Ichikoku Bridge in the Eastern Capital, now known as Tokyo, during the Edo period in Japan. The oban-sized color woodblock print, created in 1858, showcases the bridge arching gracefully over the Nihonbashi River, with boats and pedestrians making their way across. In the background, the silhouette of Mount Fuji, or Fugaku Sanjurokkei, stands majestically against the skyline. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, from the red and white stripes of the bridge to the lush greenery of the plants and trees lining the riverbank. The local people, dressed in traditional attire, add a sense of life and activity to the peaceful landscape. The estuary of the Nihonbashi River, located at the mouth of the Sumida River, was an important geographical feature during the Edo period, serving as a major transportation hub for the city. The bridge, which connects the Chuo Ward of Tokyo to Nihonbashi, was a vital structure for both pedestrian and boat traffic. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series, which includes this print, is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and remains a beloved masterpiece in the world of Asian art.
