EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Interior of the Gankiro in Yokohama" (Yokohama Gankiro mikomi no zu), created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1860, offers a glimpse into the tranquil and ornate world of a traditional Japanese teahouse during the late Edo period. The scene unfolds indoors, where a group of men and women, dressed in elegant kimonos, gather around a low table, engaged in a lively conversation over steaming bowls of tea. The interior decoration is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the artistic school of Kisai Rissho and the influence of artists such as Morita Chimpei and Koshibei. The teahouse, named Gankiro, is situated by an ornamental pond, with a footbridge extending over it, creating a serene and picturesque setting. The footbridge, with its graceful arches and delicate silhouette, adds to the sense of harmony and balance in the composition. The print also features a man, possibly the teahouse owner, standing by the entrance, welcoming guests with a lantern in hand. The triptych, which is an oban size print, showcases Hiroshige II's masterful use of color and lighting, as well as his attention to detail in depicting the various textures and structures of the teahouse and its surroundings. This print is a testament to the artistic traditions and cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and charm.
