EDITORS COMMENTS
Viewing Sunset over the Ryogoku Bridge from the Onmaya Embankment" is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai during the 19th century. Part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), this masterpiece showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Ryogoku Bridge and the Sumida River estuary as the sun sets over the iconic Mount Fuji. The print depicts a group of people, including a man and a woman, standing on the Onmaya Embankment, gazing at the sunset. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, from the deep blue of the river to the fiery orange and red hues of the sun. The boats in the river add a sense of movement and activity to the tranquil setting. The bridge, with its intricate design and elegant curves, spans the river, connecting the two banks. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Onmayagashi yori Ryogokubashi sekiyo o miru," which translates to "Viewing the Setting Sun over Ryogoku Bridge from Onmaya." This print is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and subtle shading that bring the scene to life. It is a beautiful example of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the natural world and everyday life in Japan during the Edo period. Today, "Viewing Sunset over the Ryogoku Bridge from the Onmaya Embankment" is a cherished piece of Asian art history, showcased in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. It continues to inspire artists and art lovers alike with its stunning depiction of nature and the passage of time.
