EDITORS COMMENTS
"Ando Hiroshige's Distant View of Azuma Bridge and Kinryuzan Temple, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, is a stunning color woodblock print depicting a scenic view of Azuma Bridge and Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print, created in 1857, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the artistic school of ukiyo-e. The composition is centered around the Azuma Bridge, which spans the Sumida River, and the iconic Kinryuzan Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, located on a hill in the background. Boats sail in the estuary, adding a sense of movement and life to the serene landscape. The bridge's structure is intricately detailed, with each plank and support beam depicted with precision. The cartouche in the bottom left corner of the print includes the title, "Azumabashi Kinryuzan enbo," and the artist's name, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai." Hiroshige's signature is also visible in the bottom right corner. The print is an oban size, measuring approximately 26 x 38 cm. The use of color adds depth and texture to the scene, with the vibrant reds and oranges of the temple contrasting against the cool blues and greens of the river and foliage. The print's intricate details and beautiful color palette make it a beloved masterpiece of Japanese art and a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art." This print is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection and is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the 19th century in Japan. The print's rich history and cultural significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or geography. The scene of Azuma Bridge and Kinryuzan Temple is a popular tourist destination in modern-day Tokyo, and this print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this location through the eyes of a master artist.
