EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Suruga-cho Street in Tokyo" transports us back to the bustling streets of Edo period Japan. Created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige in 1856, this print is a part of his iconic series called "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo". In this particular scene, we are presented with Suruga-cho Street, which was home to Japan's premier shopping store at that time - Echigoya. Today, it stands as the Mitsukoshi Department Store. The print beautifully captures the vibrant energy and liveliness of this popular shopping destination. As our gaze wanders through the image, we notice a group of people going about their daily activities on this busy street. Shoppers eagerly explore various shops while others engage in conversations or simply enjoy strolling along. The presence of Mount Fuji majestically looming in the background adds an enchanting touch to the composition. It serves as a reminder of Japan's natural beauty amidst its thriving urban landscape. Ando Hiroshige masterfully employs ukiyo-e techniques in this woodblock print, showcasing his exceptional skill and attention to detail. Each stroke and color choice contribute to creating a sense of depth and realism within the artwork. Through this piece, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into everyday life during Japan's Edo period—a true testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and ability to capture moments that transcend time.
