EDITORS COMMENTS
Twilight Moon at the Ryogoku Bridge," a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Famous Views of the Eastern Capital" by Ando Hiroshige, dates back to approximately 1831. This exquisite work of art, also known as "Ryogoku no yoizuki," showcases the picturesque Ryogoku Bridge over the Sumida River during the twilight hours. The bridge, with its distinctive red-lacquered struts, stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene estuary, as boats make their way along the river under the watchful gaze of the moon. The scene is set against the vibrant blue hues of twilight, with the moon, a crescent in the sky, casting a soft glow over the landscape. The reflection of the moon on the water adds an ethereal quality to the print, while the silhouettes of boats and the bridge create a dynamic contrast against the lighter areas. The print also features background figures, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. Ryogoku Bridge is a significant geographical feature in Japan, located at the mouth of the Sumida River where it meets Tokyo Bay. The bridge's location and structure have made it a popular subject in Japanese art throughout history. This print, in particular, showcases the artistic school's appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and the passage of time, as the moon rises over the bridge and the day turns to night. As a masterpiece of the Edo period, this print is a testament to the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige and the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
