EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "No. 1 Nihonbashi: Morning Scene From the series 53 Stations of the Tokaido" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa takes us back in time to ancient Japan. The image showcases the picturesque beginning of the famous Tokaido road, a vital connection between Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto. In this scene, we witness a serene morning as the sun gently rises over the horizon. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life; from the delicate brushstrokes depicting wispy clouds in an azure sky to the intricate rendering of lush landscapes that surround Nihonbashi Bridge. A group of men can be seen traversing across this iconic bridge, carrying various goods on their backs. Their presence adds a sense of movement and purpose to an otherwise tranquil setting. These figures symbolize not only human activity but also represent a snapshot of daily life during that era. Hiroshige's mastery lies in his ability to capture both natural beauty and cultural significance within his artwork. Through this woodcut print, he invites us into a world where nature harmoniously coexists with human existence. The Free Library of Philadelphia has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come, allowing us all to appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time - immersed in Japan's rich heritage and captivated by its timeless allure.
