EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Bridge Tsutenkyo, Kyoto (image 1 of 2) Arai-bari (image 1 of 3)" by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, dates back to the early 19th century, around 1806. This print is part of Utamaro's series, "Sketches of Famous Places in Japan." The image presents a picturesque scene of a bridge, Tsutenkyo, crossing over a serene body of water in Kyoto, Japan. The bridge is adorned with intricate details, from its wooden planks to the delicate railings, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. In the foreground, a group of women and children are gathered around a small stall, selling traditional Japanese clothing and accessories. A mother holds her baby in a kimono, while her older daughter fans herself with a large, ornate fan. Nearby, a rooster and its chicks peck at the ground, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The print showcases the rich heritage and traditional clothing of Japan during the 19th century. The women wear elegant kimonos with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, while the children are dressed in simple, yet charming outfits. The attention to detail in the clothing, as well as the natural surroundings, is a testament to Utamaro's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing us to appreciate and learn from the art and history of Japan during the 1800s.
