EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hiroshige, titled "Sugatami Bridge, Omokage Bridge and Jariba at Takata" is part of the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" from 1857. The colour woodblock print beautifully captures a serene Japanese landscape with its hills, river, and lush forests. In the foreground, we see samurai retainers crossing Sugatami Bridge on horseback. Their presence adds a touch of historical significance to the scene as they were an integral part of Japan's warrior class during this period. The bridges themselves - Sugatami and Omokage - stand as architectural marvels against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The composition skillfully incorporates various elements that define traditional Japanese art. From the distant sea to the towering mountains in the distance, every detail reflects harmony between man-made structures and natural surroundings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also offers insight into daily life in Edo (now Tokyo) during Hiroshige's time. It hints at military training grounds nearby where warriors would hone their skills for battle. As viewers immerse themselves in this print, they are transported back to a different era – one filled with tranquility and appreciation for both human ingenuity and nature's wonders. This piece exemplifies Hiroshige's mastery within the ukiyo-e school while showcasing his ability to capture not only physical landscapes but also emotions evoked by them.
