EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Eitai Bridge and the Reclaimed Land at Fukagawa (image 2 of 3)" from the series "Famous Views of the Eastern Capitol," dates back to the 1830s. This stunning work of art offers an aerial perspective of Eitai Bridge, which spans the Sumida River in Tokyo, Japan. The bridge connects Eitai-koto City with the bustling district of Fukagawa. In the foreground, we observe a vast expanse of reclaimed land at Fukagawa, which was once a marshy area but was later reclaimed for agricultural and residential purposes. Boats of various sizes are moored along the riverbank, adding to the scene's activity and liveliness. The print showcases a diverse population, with men and women, both dressed in traditional Japanese attire, going about their daily routines. Pedestrians can be seen crossing the bridge, while others gather on rooftops and the bridge's elevated walkways, taking in the picturesque view. This isometric representation of the scene highlights the intricate details of the bridge's structure and the geographical features of the area. The use of color and contrast adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a true masterpiece of the Edo period. The "Famous Views of the Eastern Capitol" series by Ando Hiroshige is a significant contribution to the heritage of Japanese art and a testament to the country's rich cultural history. This particular print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
