EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych of polychrome woodblock prints, created by Utagawa Kuniteru in the Meiji period, takes us back to the bustling streets of Tokyo in 1873. The illustration depicts a steam locomotive gracefully gliding along the Takanawa Railroad, a symbol of Japan's rapid modernization during this era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical scene to life. As we gaze upon the artwork, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of the train and feel its power reverberating through our souls. The railway bridge stands tall and proud, connecting different parts of the city with its iron tracks. Intriguingly, amidst all this progress, traditional elements are still present. A horse-drawn carriage passes by as rickshaws navigate through the busy streets. This fusion of old and new encapsulates Japan's transition into a Westernized society while preserving its rich cultural heritage. Utagawa Kuniteru masterfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire epoch defined by transformation and innovation. Through his skillful use of ink and color on paper, he transports us to a bygone era where steam locomotives revolutionized public transportation. As we admire this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with history - capturing moments that shape our understanding of culture and progress.
