EDITORS COMMENTS
Catching Sweetfish in the Tama River under the Autumn Moon" is a stunning 19th-century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. Part of Hiroshige's famous series "Snow, Moon, and Flowers at Famous Places" (Meisho setsugekka), this work depicts a group of men and children gathered at the edge of the Tama River in Japan during the autumn season. The moon, full and radiant, casts its gentle light upon the scene, illuminating the tranquil water and the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, a man skillfully scoops up sweetfish from the river, while his companions help to secure the catch in baskets. The children, bundled up against the evening chill, watch with wide-eyed fascination as their elders work. The serene riverbank, dotted with autumn foliage and framed by tall trees, stretches out into the distance, merging with the misty estuary. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors showcase Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The cartouche at the bottom right bears the artist's name, "Hiroshige I," and the title of the series, "Meisho setsugekka." This beautiful work of art not only captures the essence of the autumn season and the natural beauty of Japan but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of the Edo period. This exquisite print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of nature and the changing seasons. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those who appreciate the intricacies of woodblock printing and the beauty of the natural world.
