EDITORS COMMENTS
Nihon Bridge: Morning Scene" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1833 and 1834. This stunning work of art, also known as the Hoeido Tokaido, showcases the Nihon Bridge in Tokyo, Japan, during the morning hours. The print depicts the bridge in grey tones, with the Nihon Bridge standing majestically over the calm, reflective water. Local men can be seen going about their daily routines, some carrying shoulder poles laden with goods for trade along the Tokaido Road, a significant route during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The men's portraits reveal their individuality, adding a human touch to the scene. The Nihon Bridge, also known as Edo Bridge, was a vital structure for the transportation of people and goods between the eastern and western parts of Japan during this time. The print captures the essence of the bustling daily life at the bridge, making it a famous sight among the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido Road. This color woodblock print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
