EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Koya Jewel River in Kii Province (Kii Koya)," is a breathtaking representation of the Six Jewel Rivers series created during the 19th century in Japan. This exquisite work of art dates back to approximately 1835 or 1839, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of the Ukiyo-e artistic style. The print portrays the Koya Jewel River in the Kii Province, now known as Ito Wakayama in Japan. The river, teeming with life and natural beauty, flows gracefully through the landscape, its waters reflecting the vibrant autumn foliage that surrounds it. The estuary is dotted with large, jagged rocks, their textured surfaces providing a striking contrast to the calm, serene water. A bridge, presumably for pedestrian use, arches over the river, connecting the banks and allowing visitors to traverse the landscape. The bridge's structure, with its intricate design and delicate detail, adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the print. The title "Jewel River" is a fitting one, as the water shimmers with a rich, jewel-like quality, particularly where it cascades over the rocks, creating a mesmerizing waterfall. The print's title, "Mu Tamagawa no uchi," translates to "The Interior of the Dead River," but the scene depicted is far from dead; instead, it is alive with the vibrancy and energy of nature. This woodblock print, with its intricate details, vivid colors, and stunning composition, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods.
