EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Landscape with figure crossing a bridge" was created by Ogura Tokei in 1809. The image is part of the second series of his renowned work "Tokei Gafu" and was published in the book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" by Louise Norton Brown in 1924. The photograph showcases an enchanting scene from the Edo period, depicting a solitary figure gracefully crossing a picturesque bridge amidst breathtaking natural surroundings. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of Japanese ukiyo-e art, known for its exquisite woodblock prints. Ogura Tokei's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every element within this landscape. Majestic mountains rise in the distance, their peaks shrouded with mist, while delicate trees and plants adorn the foreground. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth and dimension to this tranquil setting. Louise Norton Brown's publication serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring Japanese art history. It provides insight into not only Tokei's artistic style but also highlights other notable works from that era. This remarkable print transports viewers back to 19th-century Japan, inviting them to immerse themselves in its serene beauty and appreciate the mastery behind traditional woodblock printing techniques.
