EDITORS COMMENTS
Off Tsukuda Island in the Eastern Capital" is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" created by Ando Hiroshige in 1858. This masterpiece showcases the breathtaking beauty of the coastline off Tsukuda Island in Tokyo Bay, during the Edo period of Japan. The print depicts a serene scene of boats and ships anchored at the shore, with Mount Fuji, or Fugaku, in the distant background. The iconic mountain is depicted in its traditional form, known as Fousi Yama, with its snow-capped peak standing proudly against the clear blue sky. The tranquil water reflects the vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding landscape, adding depth and dimension to the print. Birds flying overhead and animals grazing on the shoreline add a sense of life and movement to the otherwise still scene. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on the depiction of the natural world and everyday life. The Oban-sized print is a stunning example of the color woodblock printing technique, which involved carving blocks for each color and printing them in layers to create a final image. The intricate details and rich colors showcase the painstaking process involved in creating such works of art. Today, this print is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and research center, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the artistic heritage of Japan and the world.
