EDITORS COMMENTS
Kintai Bridge at Iwakuni in Suo Province" is a stunning color woodblock print from the late Edo period of Japan, created by the renowned artist Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This print is part of the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces," also known as "Shokoku meisho hyakkei." The composition captures the breathtaking beauty of Kintai Bridge, located in Iwakuni, Suo Province, in western Japan. The bridge, built in 1673, is a series of five arches that span the Nishiki River and the Ikuchi Strait, leading to the Seto Inland Sea. The bridge is surrounded by lush greenery and mountains, with the estuary and the sea in the background. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and meticulous shading. The blue hues of the river and the sea contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. The artist's mastery of the woodblock printing technique is evident in the delicate lines and textures, as well as the skillful use of perspective to create depth and dimension. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Kintai Bridge at Iwakuni in Suo Province," along with the artist's signature, "Nishiki no Hiroshige," which translates to "Hiroshige of Nishiki." The print also includes the seals of the publishers Morita Chimpei, Kisai Rissho, and Ryusho. This print is a testament to the artistic school of Utagawa Hiroshige II and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
