EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Ryogoku Bridge in the Eastern Capital, part of his renowned series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, captures the picturesque scene of the Ryogoku Bridge spanning the Sumida River in the heart of Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the late Tokugawa period. The vibrant color woodblock print showcases the bridge's intricate structure, with its red and white pillars supporting the boats and houseboats moored along the riverbank. The estuary and the distant silhouette of Mount Fuji, known as Fugaku Sanjurokkei or the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," add depth and context to the composition. The bustling activity on the river, with boats transporting people and goods, reflects the lively commerce and everyday life of the Eastern Capital. The female figure in traditional attire on the right bank, gazing at the boats, adds a sense of human scale and connection to the scene. The Ryogoku Bridge, a vital transportation hub, linked the Taito and Chiyoda districts, making it an essential part of Edo's urban landscape. This print, created in 1858, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which emphasized the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. The print's rich colors and intricate details continue to captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Japan during the Edo period.
