EDITORS COMMENTS
Night Rain at Makura Bridge" is a captivating color woodblock print from the "Eight Views of the Sumida River" series, created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1861. This stunning work of art transports us to the Edo Period of Japan, showcasing the beauty and serenity of the Sumida River during a tranquil night rain. The print depicts Makura Bridge (Makurabashi), a wooden bridge that spans the Sumida River in present-day Tokyo. The bridge is illuminated by the moonlight, casting a gentle glow on the rain-soaked landscape. The bridge's structure is framed by the vibrant colors of the cartouche, which features the title of the series and the name of the artist. The scene is populated by figures, both male and female, braving the rain to cross the bridge. A man in a straw raincoat and a woman in a traditional kimono are seen huddled under an umbrella, while a passerby, dressed in a simple robe, walks determinedly through the rain. The print also features the silhouette of a man standing on the bridge, gazing out at the rain-soaked scenery. The estuary of the Sumida River is depicted in all its glory, with the mouth of the river meeting the ocean in the background. The raindrops on the surface of the water create a shimmering effect, reflecting the moonlight and the colors of the surrounding landscape. This print is a testament to the artistic mastery of Utagawa Hiroshige II and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo Period. It is a reminder of the beauty and serenity that can be found even in the midst of a rainy night.
