EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige, titled "EDO: STREET RAILWAY, c1870" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of late 19th century Japan. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us back in time, allowing us to witness daily life during the Meiji era. In this scene, we see a horse-drawn streetcar navigating its way through a vibrant street scene. The wooden wheels clatter against the cobblestones as people go about their business - merchants selling their wares, pedestrians strolling along the sidewalk, and children playing in the background. It is an enchanting snapshot of a rapidly changing society on the brink of Westernization. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition draws our eyes towards the central figure - the majestic horse leading this mode of transportation. Its powerful presence symbolizes both progress and tradition colliding harmoniously within Edo (now Tokyo). This print serves as a testament to how technology was gradually transforming Japanese society during that period. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times while also celebrating cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst modernization and industrialization, there are elements worth preserving and cherishing. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by history and travel, this woodblock print invites you to immerse yourself in Edo-era Japan – where tradition meets innovation on every corner.
