EDITORS COMMENTS
Crossing the Tenryu River at Mitsuke," a captivating woodblock print published in 1865 by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, is a mesmerizing representation of the Edo Period (1603-1868) in Japan. This exquisite artwork is part of the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which portrays the journey along the ancient trade route connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. The print depicts a lone traveler, dressed in traditional clothing, standing on the bank of the Tenryu River at Mitsuke in Iwata, Shizuoka, on the eastern coast of Honshu, Japan's main island. The traveler gazes intently into the distance, contemplating the vast expanse of water that separates him from his next destination. In the background, a boat with lanterns illuminating its path navigates the river, adding a sense of movement and progress to the scene. The print's intricate details showcase the mastery of woodblock printing techniques during the Tokugawa Period. The use of color and lighting effectively conveys the time of day, with the night sky adorned with stars and the moon casting a gentle glow over the scene. The geographical feature of the Tenryu River, a significant water transport route during the era, adds to the historical significance of the artwork. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its artistic traditions. The artwork invites viewers to explore the history and beauty of Japan during the Edo Period, a time marked by trade, transportation, and the exchange of ideas along the famous Tōkaidō road.
