EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Bamboo Yards and Kyo Bridge (Kyobashi Takegashi)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," dates back to 1857. This exquisite work of art, a masterpiece of the Japanese ukiyo-e tradition, showcases the picturesque scene of the Nishiki River estuary in Iwakuni, Chugoku Japan. The bridge, known as Kyo Bridge (Kyobashi), arches gracefully over the river, connecting the banks and allowing for the passage of boats and pedestrians. The background is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. Bamboo yards line the banks of the river, their tall, slender stalks reaching towards the sky. Boats filled with men, possibly fishermen or merchants, dot the water, while others are seen punting or quanting along the riverbed. The bridge's structure is adorned with intricate details, from the wooden planks to the ornate railings. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which focused on capturing the beauty and essence of everyday life in Japan during the Edo period. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The print also highlights the importance of geographical features, such as rivers and bridges, in the daily lives of the people of Edo Japan. This stunning work of art, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
