EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara (Yoshiwara Nihonzutsumi)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei)" dates back to the 19th century. This stunning work of art, created in 1857, showcases the bustling Nihon Embankment in Yoshiwara, a red-light district in Edo, Japan. The print captures the serene beauty of the full moon rising over the Nihonbashi River estuary, casting a gentle glow on the black night. The rooftops and the red lanterns of the market stalls along the embankment are illuminated, creating a lively contrast against the dark background. The people, dressed in traditional attire, go about their jobs, oblivious of the astronomical wonder unfolding above. The intricate details of the print, from the geometric patterns on the roofs to the individual faces of the people, are a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill. The print also highlights the geographical features of Edo, showcasing the mouth of the river and the busy road leading to the market. This masterpiece is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Edo Japan.
