Sumidagawa Hashiba Watashi Zu (Yanagiya), ca. 1835-42 - A Glimpse into Edo Period Japan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print, created by Ando Hiroshige in the early 19th century, offers a mesmerizing snapshot of life along the Sumida River in Edo period Japan. The scene showcases a bustling riverside location known as Yanagiya, where people from all walks of life gather. In this vibrant artwork, we see women and children dressed in colorful kimonos and traditional clothing, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Their distinctive footwear includes geta sandals and platform shoes called pattens. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink and color on paper. The artist's keen eye for geography is apparent as he captures the architectural beauty of houses lining the riverbank. These buildings represent a mix of residential homes and commercial establishments that were integral to daily life during this time. As our gaze follows the flowing river, we are transported into an idyllic landscape adorned with lush greenery and serene waters. This harmonious blend between nature and human activity was a recurring theme in Hiroshige's ukiyo-e prints. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document offering us glimpses into Japan's rich cultural past. It invites us to immerse ourselves in the enchanting world depicted by
