EDITORS COMMENTS
Misty Moon over the Shore at Tsukuda Island" is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1835 and 1844. This masterpiece is part of the series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital" (Toto Meisho), showcasing the beauty and diversity of the regions surrounding the ancient Japanese capital, Kyoto and Edo. The print depicts a serene and mystical scene of Tsukuda Island (Tsukudajima) off the coast of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The full moon rises majestically over the tranquil shoreline, casting a soft, ethereal glow on the fishing village below. Boats with cargo and fishing nets are docked at the water's edge, while rooftops and roofs of buildings can be seen in the background. The intricate details of the print are enhanced by the use of chutanzaku, a traditional Japanese folding technique that creates a textured, layered effect. The cartouche at the bottom left corner features the artist's name, "Hiroshige," written in elegant calligraphy. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The print also reflects the scientific interests of the time, as the solar system and lunar cycles were popular subjects of study. The "Misty Moon over the Shore at Tsukuda Island" is a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its stunning depiction of nature, the passage of time, and the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
