EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Pleasure Boat at Ryogoku Bridge, a captivating section from his renowned series "Cutouts of Famous Places in Edo" (Harimaze Koto meisho), created in 1852, offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant culture and fashion of Edo period Japan. The exquisite color woodblock print showcases a pleasure boat navigating the calm waters of the Sumida River, under the graceful arch of Ryogoku Bridge. The bridge, adorned with intricate cartouches, connects the Taito and Sumida wards, and is a significant geographical feature of the Edo estuary. The print's central focus is a woman, elegantly dressed in a checked kimono, standing on the bridge's edge, gazing at the boat. Her attire, a testament to the artistic school of the time, features a bold, geometric pattern, adding a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette of the print. The woman's traditional clothing, a symbol of her heritage and social standing, is a striking contrast to the modern pleasure boat, which carries passengers along the river for leisurely excursions. The intricate details of the print, from the ripples in the water to the intricate patterns on the bridge and the boat, demonstrate Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich history, culture, and fashion of 19th-century Japan.
