EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Unexpected Rainfall on the Big Bridge Atake Ohashi Atake no Yudachi" transports us back to Tokyo in September 1857. The image showcases a view of a wooden bridge, bustling with activity as people hurriedly seek shelter from an unexpected rain shower. In their efforts to protect themselves, we see individuals clutching umbrellas, donning big hats, and even utilizing wicker mats. Amidst this scene, a man can be seen diligently pushing a raft made of tree trunks along the river beneath the bridge. The bridge itself is teeming with traffic and transport, with at least four or more persons traversing its length. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Hiroshige I (Utagawa Hiroshige), renowned for his masterful woodcut prints capturing various aspects of Edo life. This particular artwork belongs to his series titled "A Hundred Famous Faces on Edo" also known as "Meisho Edo Hyakkei". The vivid colors and intricate details rendered through the medium of color woodcut bring this historical moment to life. Measuring approximately 364mm in height by 249mm in width, this paper print offers a glimpse into Tokyo's past while showcasing Hiroshige's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how nature's unpredictability intertwines with human existence and our constant quest for protection against unforeseen circumstances.
