EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "View from the Sea at Shinagawa, 1879" by Kobayashi Kiyochika, transports viewers to the enchanting shores of Japan during the Meiji era. The artwork measures 23.4x33.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. In this mesmerizing scene, one can almost feel the gentle sway of waves as they lap against a fleet of majestic ships. As dusk settles over Shinagawa, a bustling port town near Tokyo, vibrant hues of orange and pink paint the sky with an ethereal glow. The setting sun casts its warm light on steamers dotting the horizon, their silhouettes contrasting beautifully against nature's canvas. Transportation plays a central role in this piece; intricate rigging adorns each vessel while sailors diligently go about their duties aboard these maritime giants. This snapshot captures both tranquility and anticipation as nightfall gives way to dawn - a symbolic representation of new beginnings. Kiyochika's masterful technique brings life to every detail: from delicate brushstrokes depicting rippling water to meticulous attention given to architectural elements along Shinagawa's shoreline. Through his artistry, he invites us into an immersive seascape that evokes a sense of wonder and serenity unique to East Asia. The Robert O. Muller Collection proudly houses this remarkable print within its vast collection at Arthur M. Sack
