EDITORS COMMENTS
Autumn Moon over Sumida River (Sumida aki zuki), from the series "Eight Views of the Sumida River (Sumidagawa hakkei)", Japan, early 1760s. In this woodblock print by Kitao Shigemasa, we are transported to a serene autumn evening along the banks of the Sumida River. The moon shines brightly in the night sky, casting its gentle glow upon the tranquil waters below. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this seasonal transition with vibrant hues of red and blue, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the white background. As we admire this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to two figures standing on a bridge overlooking the river. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, they add depth and scale to the composition while contemplating nature's beauty under an enchanting lunar spectacle. Shigemasa's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this artwork - from intricate cartouches framing each scene to delicate lines that bring life to trees and foliage. This print is part of his renowned series "Eight Views of the Sumida River" which showcases different perspectives and moods inspired by this iconic location during various seasons. Through Autumn Moon over Sumida River, Shigemasa invites us into a world where artistry meets astronomy and tradition intertwines with natural wonders. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and reminds us of our connection with both earthly landscapes and celestial phenomena.
