EDITORS COMMENTS
Crowds at Ryogoku" is a captivating triptych woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyasu, created in the 1820s. This stunning artwork offers a bird's-eye view of the bustling Ryogoku district in Edo period Japan. The print showcases an aerial perspective of the vibrant waterfront scene, with boats of various sizes and shapes anchored at the pier, and people going about their daily lives. The print is rich in detail, with intricately designed costumes and apparel that reflect the traditional Japanese fashion of the time. Men and women, dressed in kimonos and other traditional clothing, can be seen milling about, some engaged in conversation, while others are busy with their daily tasks. The boats and pier are also teeming with activity, with men transporting goods and passengers between the shore and their vessels. The print is characterized by its use of bold, contrasting colors, with the black and blue hues of the water and boats standing out against the warm tones of the buildings and clothing. The triptych format allows for a comprehensive view of the scene, with each panel offering a slightly different perspective. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Ryogoku, and the importance of water transport in the region. Today, "Crowds at Ryogoku" is a cherished piece of Asian art, and can be found in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
