EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "The Sumida Embankment in the Eastern Capital (Toto Sumida zutsumi)" from the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)" dated 1858, offers a stunning glimpse into the Edo Period (1603-1868) of Japan. The image portrays the picturesque Sumida Embankment, located in the eastern part of the capital city, Tokyo, along the Sumida River. The estuary of the river is shown in all its glory, with the vibrant colors of cherry blossoms in full bloom reflecting on its calm waters. The cartouche at the top right corner of the print bears the title, and the artist's name, "Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Utagawa Hiroshige." The print showcases the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese clothing, with women dressed in kimonos admiring the blossoms. The intricate patterns and designs on their dresses, as well as the subtle color palette, are a testament to the artistic school of the time. In the background, the iconic Mount Fuji, or Fugaku, stands majestically, its snow-capped peak rising above the landscape. The print's oban size and meticulous color woodblock printing technique add to its grandeur, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. The Sumida Embankment, with its geographical features and natural beauty, is a popular location for both locals and visitors alike, and this print captures its essence perfectly. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and research center, and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art or the history of fashion clothing.
