EDITORS COMMENTS
Kintai Bridge in Suo Province (Suo no kuni Kintaibashi)," a captivating masterpiece from the series "Unusual Views of Famous Bridges in Various Provinces" (Shokoku meikyo kiran) by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849), showcases the breathtaking beauty of Iwakuni City in Nagato Province, Japan, during the Edo period. The bridge, also known as Kintai Bridge, is a five-arched structure that spans the Nishiki River and connects the mainland to the island of Miyajima in Suo Province. The print, created around 1833/34, is a stunning example of Hokusai's mastery of color woodblock printing. The image is dominated by the vibrant green color of the bridge and the surrounding foliage, contrasted against the brown tones of the bridge's wooden structure and the brown and gray tones of the mountains in the background. The clouds, depicted in various shades of white and gray, add a sense of depth and dimension to the scene. The bridge is framed by the cartouche, which includes the title of the series, the name of the bridge, and the name of the province. The artist's seal, "Hokusai," is also present at the bottom right corner of the print. The Kintai Bridge is a popular tourist destination and a significant cultural landmark in Japan. Its unique design and picturesque location have made it a favorite subject for artists and photographers throughout history. This print by Hokusai is a testament to the enduring appeal of the bridge and the beauty of the natural world. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art or Asian art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the Edo period.
