EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "The Sumida Embankment in the Eastern Capital (Toto Sumida-zutsumi)" is a breathtaking masterpiece from his renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)" created in 1858. The image captures the picturesque scene of the Sumida River estuary in Tokyo during the Edo period. The flowing river, adorned with cherry blossoms, meets the tranquil bay, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, a group of people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including kimonos and hats, are seen enjoying the beautiful scenery. A woman in a striking red kimono, with a white obi sash, stands at the water's edge, gazing out at the blossoms. The cartouche at the top right of the print bears the title and the name of the artist, Ando Hiroshige, and the series title, "Fugaku Sanjurokkei." The intricate details of the print, achieved through the color woodblock printing technique, showcase the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the nineteenth century. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the medium, with the delicate balance of colors and the precise lines that bring the scene to life. The Sumida Embankment in the Eastern Capital is not only an exquisite work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and fashion of the Edo period. The print is a cherished piece of Asian art history and a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, geography, or the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
