EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Asakusa River, Great Riverbank, Miyato River (Asakusagawa Okawabata Miyatogawa)" from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei)" dates back to 1857. This exquisite work of art, created during the Edo period in Japan, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Asakusa and Miyato rivers as they meet at the estuary. The vibrant blue hue of the water reflects the serene atmosphere, while the intricate details of the surrounding landscape are brought to life through the masterful use of color woodblock printing. The scene is filled with activity as people cross the river via a ferry boat, their silhouettes contrasting against the backdrop of the setting sun. The banks of the river are dotted with men and women, some in prayerful poses, holding prayer flags aloft, while others simply watch the world go by. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location as Asakusa in Tokyo, Japan, a place of great cultural and religious significance during the Edo period. This stunning work of art, a testament to the artistic school of the time, is a visual representation of the rich heritage and history of Japan during the nineteenth century. The Oban size print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, continues to captivate viewers and remains an enduring symbol of the artistic prowess of Ando Hiroshige.
