Moon over Ryogoku Bridge in Summer
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Natsu Ryogoku no tsuki) is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, created during the 1830s as part of his series "Famous Places in Edo in the Four Seasons" (Shiki Koto meisho). This stunning work of art depicts the full moon rising over Ryogoku Bridge in the summer season. The serene scene unfolds on the Sumida River estuary, where the bridge's wooden structure spans the waterway, connecting the banks. Boats with men rowing or moored along the river add a sense of activity to the tranquil night. The bridge's Chutanzaku design, a traditional style featuring three arches, is beautifully rendered in intricate detail. The moon, a symbol of peace and tranquility, casts a gentle glow on the landscape, illuminating the scene and reflecting off the water's surface. The background is filled with the silhouettes of buildings and people, adding depth and a sense of scale to the composition. The artist's masterful use of color and calligraphy further enhances the overall effect, creating a breathtaking work of art that transports us to a bygone era. This woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It offers a glimpse into the geography and culture of Japan during the Edo period, making it an invaluable addition to any art collection or gallery. The moon's presence in the night sky serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of the universe and the passing of the seasons, making this print a beautiful and thought-provoking piece of art.
