EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Summer Moon over Ryogoku is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Three Views of Famous Places in Edo." Created in the mid-1840s, this artwork showcases the breathtaking beauty of a full summer moon rising over the Ryogoku district in Edo, Japan. The moon's radiant glow illuminates the landscape, casting a soft blue hue over the tranquil Sumida River and its iconic Ryogoku Bridge. The print offers a glimpse into the bustling life of Edo during the Edo period. People can be seen in the foreground, going about their nightly routines, while the cartouche at the bottom left provides essential information about the location and season. The bridge's structure, with its elegant arches, stands out against the backdrop of the moonlit scene, connecting the two banks of the river. Summer Moon over Ryogoku is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school of ukiyo-e. His intricate attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of a moment in time have made this print an enduring masterpiece. The print's rich colors and dynamic composition transport the viewer to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the geography, culture, and heritage of Edo-period Japan. The print's scientific accuracy is also noteworthy, as Hiroshige meticulously depicted the moon's position in the solar system, further showcasing his artistic and astronomical prowess. This stunning work of art continues to captivate audiences worldwide, inspiring awe and appreciation for the natural world and the rich artistic heritage of Japan.
