EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's iconic woodblock print, "Ryogoku Bridge in the Eastern Capital (Toto Ryogoku)" from the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)" captures the picturesque scene of Ryogoku Bridge in the Eastern Capital, Tokyo during the Edo period of Japan, in 1858. The print is a stunning example of Hiroshige's mastery of color woodblock printing, showcasing the vibrant hues of the setting sun casting a warm glow over the estuary, with the Sumida River winding its way through the scene. The bridge, a vital transportation link, is adorned with intricate details, from the graceful curves of the structure to the boats and houseboats moored along the riverbank. The boats, filled with passengers and cargo, add a sense of movement and activity to the serene landscape. In the background, the silhouette of Mount Fuji, Japan's most famous mountain, can be seen peeking above the horizon, adding a sense of grandeur and scale to the scene. The print also features a group of women on the bridge, dressed in traditional attire, adding a touch of human interest and interaction to the otherwise tranquil scene. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the beauty and essence of Japan's geography and culture during the Tokugawa period. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcased in galleries and museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago.
