EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's stunning woodblock print, "Ryogoku Ekoin and Moto-Yanagi Bridge" (Ryogoku Ekoin Moto-Yanagibashi), is a captivating depiction of the Ryogoku Ekoin Temple and Moto-Yanagi Bridge in Edo, Japan, during the 19th century. The print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). The composition showcases the temple's red and gold roofs, nestled among the lush greenery, and the elegant curve of the Moto-Yanagi Bridge, which spans the Sumida River estuary. Boats sail in the distance, adding a sense of motion and activity to the tranquil scene. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides the title and artist's name, "Hiroshige Ichiyusai," while the oban-sized print's vibrant colors and intricate details showcase the masterful skill of the artist and the artisans who produced it. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Edo, with people going about their business on the rooftops and along the riverbank. The geographical feature of the Sumida River estuary and the bridge serve as important landmarks, connecting different parts of the city and providing a vital transportation link. The Ryogoku Ekoin Temple, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the god of medicine, adds a religious and cultural dimension to the scene. The print's rich background and attention to detail make it a valuable piece of artistic heritage, showcasing the beauty and complexity of Edo-period Japan.
