EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, "Suido Bridge and Surugadai" (Suidobashi Surugadai), is a breathtaking representation of the Suidobashi area in Tokyo during the Edo period of Japan, as part of his renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), created in 1857. The print showcases the Suidobashi Bridge, an essential structure connecting the two sides of the Edogawa River, with the bustling Surugadai district in the background. The bridge is depicted in meticulous detail, with its black wooden beams and intricate water diversion system, designed to control the flow of the river and prevent flooding. The bridge's name, "Suido," means "water bridge," reflecting its importance as a vital transportation link. The river's calm, dark waters teem with life, with carp and other fish swimming gracefully, adding to the natural beauty of the scene. The riverbank is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives, their black silhouettes contrasting against the colorful landscape. The print's background reveals the Surugadai district, with its narrow streets, traditional houses, and various shops. The area was known for its bustling markets, where merchants sold a variety of goods, attracting visitors from all walks of life. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this woodblock print make it a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
