EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's View of Nihonbashi Tori-itchome, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, captures a bustling scene in the heart of Edo-period Tokyo. The print, created in 1858, depicts the Tori-itchome area of Nihonbashi, a major commercial and transportation hub. The view is filled with a vibrant mix of colors and textures, from the grey stone bridge and buildings to the bright blue parasols and colorful kimonos worn by the pedestrians. The print is a prime example of the ukiyo-e artistic school, known for its focus on the urban life and culture of Japan. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Ichiyusai, masterfully uses the oban format to capture the detail and energy of the scene. The cartouche at the bottom left identifies the location as Nihonbashi Chuo, Tokyo, Japan. The men and women in the print are dressed in traditional clothing, with the women wearing elegant kimonos and carrying parasols to shield themselves from the sun. The men wear simple clothing, some with hats or carrying bags. The pedestrians move with purpose, adding to the sense of activity and movement in the scene. This woodblock print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich history and culture of Japan during the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of city life.
