EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of the Various Provinces" created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This exquisite work of art showcases the iconic Kintai Bridge, located in Iwakuni, Chugoku Japan, spanning the Nishiki River at the mouth of the Inland Sea. The bridge, a masterpiece of Japanese engineering, is depicted in all its glory, with its five arches gracefully arcing over the estuary. The vibrant blue of the river contrasts beautifully with the rich colors of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. The print captures the essence of the scenic location, with the autumn foliage adding a touch of seasonal beauty. Utagawa Hiroshige II, also known as Ni Daime Utagawa Hiroshige, was a prominent artist of the Edo period, renowned for his landscape prints. This work, a part of the "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" series, is a testament to his artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's diverse geography. The print also features a cartouche, which includes the title, the name of the publisher, Morita Chimpei, and the name of the artist, Utagawa Hiroshige II. The cartouche also includes the names of the two publishers, Ryusho and Kisai Rissho, and the name of the printmaker, Koshibei. This woodblock print is a valuable piece of Asian art and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It is a must-have for any art enthusiast, collector, or scholar of Japanese art and history. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
