EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Suruga-cho Street in Tokyo" by Ando Hiroshige takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Japan. The woodblock print, created in 1856 as part of the series Meisho Yedo Hiakkei (One Hundred Famous Views of Edo), beautifully captures the vibrant energy and urban life during the Edo period. In this scene, we see a lively shopping district filled with a group of people going about their daily activities. The iconic Mount Fuji stands proudly in the background, its majestic presence contrasting against the busy street below. Clouds hover above, adding depth and atmosphere to this snapshot of old Tokyo. Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the intricate patterns on traditional Japanese clothing to the architectural elements that define Edo-era buildings, each element transports us back in time. As we observe this woodblock print, we can almost hear the sounds of footsteps echoing through Suruga-cho Street and feel ourselves becoming immersed in its energetic bustle. It serves as a reminder not only of Japan's rich cultural heritage but also highlights Hiroshige's mastery as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic excellence while offering glimpses into everyday life during an era long gone by.
