EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych of polychrome woodblock prints, created by Utagawa Yoshitora in the 2nd month of 1862, transports us to Nankin in China during the vibrant Edo period. The intricate details and vivid colors bring this bustling cityscape to life, showcasing the rich heritage art of Japan. The scene depicts a picturesque view of Nankin's landscape, with its iconic bridges spanning across a flowing river. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Chinese architecture with traditional houses and buildings adorning the riverside. Ink and color on paper create a harmonious blend that adds depth and dimension to every stroke. As we explore this masterpiece further, we are drawn into the lively atmosphere filled with people going about their daily lives. Each figure is meticulously crafted, reflecting both individuality and collective unity within this thriving metropolis. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print serves as an invaluable historical artifact from the 19th century. It not only showcases Utagawa Yoshitora's artistic prowess but also provides us with a glimpse into Nanjing's geographical features and cultural significance during that era. With its delicate beauty and attention to detail, this artwork stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of ukiyo-e prints.
