EDITORS COMMENTS
Off Tsukuda Island in the Eastern Capital" is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" created by Ando Hiroshige in 1858. This exquisite work of art showcases the breathtaking beauty of the coastline off Tsukuda Island in Tokyo Bay during the Edo period. The print depicts a serene scene of boats and ships anchored in the calm waters, with a small island in the foreground and Mount Fuji, the iconic symbol of Japan, rising majestically in the background. The print is a masterpiece of the Oban format, a large size for woodblock prints of the time. Hiroshige's skillful use of color and composition creates a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting the viewer to imagine the gentle breeze rustling through the sails and the sound of the waves lapping against the shore. The print also features intricate details, such as the graceful flight of a bird overhead and the playful antics of a group of cranes on the island. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige and Hiroshige I, was a leading figure of the Utagawa school of artistic tradition in Japan during the 19th century. His works, including this print, are celebrated for their vivid colors, intricate details, and evocative depictions of the natural world and everyday life in Japan during the Tokugawa period. Today, "Off Tsukuda Island in the Eastern Capital" is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcased in prestigious museums and galleries around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a testament to the enduring beauty and artistic vision of Ando Hiroshige and the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
