EDITORS COMMENTS
The Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital (Toto Sukiyagashi)," a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fuji sanjurokkei) by Ando Hiroshige, offers a breathtaking glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Japan during the Edo period. The print, created in 1858, captures the serene beauty of the Sukiya harbor in the eastern capital, now known as Tokyo. The image showcases a bustling harbor front with boats of various sizes anchored along the riverbank. The calm, blue waters of the estuary reflect the vibrant colors of the houses and boats, creating a striking contrast. In the background, Mount Fuji, the iconic symbol of Japan, stands majestically against the skyline. The mountain's snow-capped peak adds a touch of tranquility to the lively scene. The print is adorned with intricate cartouches that provide information about the location and the artist. The artist, Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), was a leading figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the everyday life and landscapes of Japan. His innovative use of color and composition revolutionized the art of woodblock printing. The print's title, "The Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital," refers to the Sukiya fishing village located near the harbor. The background people, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, add a sense of scale and depth to the image. The print's oban size makes it an impressive addition to any collection of Asian art or a gallery or art institute dedicated to the works of Ando Hiroshige or the artistic traditions of Japan.
