EDITORS COMMENTS
Pine of Success and Oumayagashi, Asakusa River (Asakusagawa shubi no matsu Oumayagashi)," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, dates back to 1856 from his esteemed series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). This exquisite work of art showcases the picturesque Asakusa River, with its tranquil waters and bustling activity. The focal point of the composition is a solitary, triumphant pine tree, aptly named "Pine of Success," standing proudly at the riverbank. The tree's resilience and strength are emphasized by the surrounding landscape, as it stands in contrast to the delicate, ephemeral cherry blossoms that bloom in the foreground. The river is teeming with boats and passengers, adding a sense of liveliness and activity to the scene. Men and women, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, can be seen crossing the river via the Oumayagashi, a type of ferry used during the Edo period. The cartouche at the top right corner of the print provides the title and artist's name, while the oban keyblock proof impression indicates the high-quality craftsmanship of the print. This evocative work of art captures the essence of the Edo period in Japan, showcasing the beauty of its natural landscapes, the vibrancy of its people, and the rich cultural heritage of the time. The print is a testament to Ando Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to convey the spirit of a bygone era. The serene yet dynamic composition invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of the scene, from the intricate details of the boats and clothing to the subtle nuances of the natural world. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or the beauty of the natural world.
