EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kyoto: The Great Bridge at Sanjo (Keishi, Sanjo ohashi)," is a breathtaking representation of the Sanjo Bridge in Kyoto, Japan, during the Edo period. This print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the Hoeido Tokaido. The vibrant oban-sized print showcases the bridge's grandeur as it stretches over the Kamo River, connecting the eastern and western parts of Kyoto. The bridge's wooden structure, supported by sturdy pillars, is adorned with intricate carvings and intricate details, adding to its aesthetic appeal. The print's composition is masterfully balanced, with the bridge dominating the center while the mountains in the background provide a sense of depth and distance. The Kamo River, with its calm, blue waters, reflects the bridge and the surrounding scenery, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the print's visual interest. The print's cartouche, located at the bottom left, bears the title, "Keishi, Sanjo ohashi," and the artist's signature, "Hiroshige I." The print's rich colors and intricate details highlight Hiroshige's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's famous sights. The print also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Edo period, with pedestrians and men crossing the bridge, adding to the print's lively atmosphere. This stunning work of art is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic vision and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of Japan's geography and heritage.
