Tamagawa, a river that has captivated artists and poets alike throughout history. From the serene Tama River of Koyasan in Kii Province to the majestic Plover Crystal River in Mutsu Province, this body of water holds an undeniable allure. In the 18th century, Kitao Shigemasa immortalized its beauty in his woodblock print series "Six Jewel Rivers, " showcasing the tranquil flow and picturesque landscapes. Fast forward to the 19th century, where ink, color, and gold on silk brought to life a male courtier gracefully crossing Tamagawa on horseback. The delicate brushstrokes capturing both elegance and strength as he traverses its waters. Ando Hiroshige's artistic prowess shines through in his depiction of Autumn Moon on the Tama River. With each stroke of his brush, he transports us to a world filled with ethereal beauty and tranquility. Sakai Oho takes us on a whimsical journey along Mu-Tamagawa with his Parodic Six Jewel Rivers series. Mountain Roses of Ide bloom along its banks, adding bursts of vibrant colors against nature's backdrop. As time progresses into the 20th century, we witness Fishing boats at sunset across Tamagawa near Yokohama. The golden hues reflecting off its surface create an enchanting spectacle that leaves one breathless. Underwood & Underwood capture another breathtaking moment as fishing boats come home at sunset near Yokohama. The warm glow illuminates their path as they return from their day's work upon these revered waters. Not only does Tamagawa inspire artistry but also showcases nature's wonders like pink and white striped camellias adorning its shores—a testament to Mother Earth's creativity. In all seasons, Tamagawa remains captivating; Ando Hiroshige once again captures our hearts with Autumn Moon on the Tama River—its reflection shimmering under moonlight, casting a spell of serenity.
