EDITORS COMMENTS
Tsuten-kyo Bridge, Tofuku Temple, Kyoto (Kyoto Tofukuji Tsutenkyo bashi)," a captivating color woodblock print from the late Edo Period (1859) by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige II, is a breathtaking depiction of the iconic Tsuten-kyo Bridge in Kyoto, Japan. This exquisite piece is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" (Shokoku meisho hyakkei), showcasing the natural beauty and cultural significance of various locations across Japan. The print captures the picturesque scene of the bridge spanning the Kamo River, framed by the vibrant autumn foliage of the surrounding trees. The bridge, with its intricate wooden construction, leads to the majestic Tofuku Temple nestled in the hills of Higashiyama, Kyoto. The temple, known for its Buddhist teachings, is depicted with its vermilion gates and serene gardens. The print's cartouche contains the title, artist's name, and publisher information, adding to its historical and artistic value. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the green of the foliage and the orange of the autumn leaves, adds depth and dimension to the scene. The print also highlights the importance of the estuary and the river as a geographical feature, as well as the role of religion in Japanese culture. This masterpiece by Utagawa Hiroshige II is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the beauty of nature and the importance of capturing its essence in art. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, particularly that of Japan, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the continent.
