EDITORS COMMENTS
Cooling off at Ryogoku Bridge" is a stunning woodblock print from the series "Famous Places in Edo" (Koto meisho) created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1839 and 1842. The captivating image showcases a tranquil scene along the Sumida River in Tokyo during the Edo period. The focus of the print is Ryogoku Bridge (Ryogokubashi), an arched bridge that spans the river and connects the two banks. Boats filled with people, seeking relief from the summer heat, are moored beneath the bridge. The boats, with their colorful sails and houseboats in the background, add a vibrant touch to the serene landscape. The cool, clear water of the Sumida River, which flows into Tokyo Bay, is a popular destination for locals during the hot summer months. People can be seen wading in the water, enjoying the refreshing sensation as they cool off from the heat. The bridge's sturdy struts provide a sense of stability and security, while the boats and people create a bustling atmosphere that contrasts with the peaceful scenery of the river and the surrounding geographical features. Ando Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition in this woodblock print captures the essence of life in Edo-period Japan. The print is a testament to the artistic school's dedication to documenting the beauty and diversity of the country, providing a glimpse into a bygone era. This piece is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture.
