EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Glow at Ryogoku Bridge" is a stunning woodblock print from the series "Eight Views of Edo" created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Toyohiro, also known as Ichiryusai Toyohiro, around 1804 or 18. This work of art showcases the picturesque Ryogoku Bridge (Ryogoku sekisho) over the Sumida River in Edo, Japan, during the evening hours. The bridge, adorned with its elegant red and green coloration, spans the mouth of the river, connecting the banks and providing a vital transportation link for boats and other watercraft. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, with the pink and orange hues of the sky reflecting beautifully on the tranquil water. The clouds, tinged with shades of pink and green, add a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise still image. The boats in the foreground, with their sails furled, add a sense of scale and activity to the scene, while the distant mountains and structures along the shoreline provide a sense of depth and context. This print is a prime example of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, which flourished in Japan during the 17th through 19th centuries. It is a testament to the beauty and rich heritage of Japanese art and the enduring allure of the natural world, as depicted through the skilled hand of Toyohiro. The print is a treasured addition to any collection of Asian art and a reminder of the artistic mastery of the past. This oban-sized print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the enduring beauty and cultural significance of the natural world and the art that captures its essence.
