EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's The Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, captures a serene moment along the edge of the Sumida River in Tokyo during the Edo period. The print, created in 1858, showcases the picturesque scene of a snow-covered riverbank with small houses and boats moored along the shore. The iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, can be seen in the distance, rising above the estuary. Hiroshige, a renowned artist of the Utagawa school, masterfully employs color woodblock printing techniques to bring this tranquil scene to life. The print's vibrant hues and intricate details draw the viewer in, inviting them to explore the various elements of the composition. The background people, dressed in traditional attire, add a sense of activity and life to the otherwise still scene. The cartouche at the bottom of the print identifies the location as Sukiyacho, Wakayama, in the Eastern Capital. The title, "Toto Sukiyagashi," translates to "The Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital." This print is a testament to Hiroshige's ability to capture the beauty and essence of Japan's geography and culture during the 19th century. The Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital is a cherished piece of artistic heritage, showcasing the skill and creativity of Ando Hiroshige and the Utagawa school. It remains an enduring symbol of Japan's rich artistic history and continues to inspire artists and admirers alike.
