EDITORS COMMENTS
Sanjo Bridge, Kyoto, 1855" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada and Ando Hiroshige, part of their "Double-brush 53 Stages" series, specifically number 55. This exquisite artwork captures a moment in time during the Edo period (1603-1868) of Japan, providing a glimpse into the country's rich history and cultural heritage. The print depicts a bustling scene on the Sanjo Bridge in Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan, located in the Kinki region. The bridge, built over the Kamo River, is adorned with intricate finials and serves as a vital connection between the eastern and western parts of the city. People of all walks of life are shown crossing the bridge, including men dressed in traditional clothing such as kimonos and geta, while others wear more practical attire like boots or carriage boots. The vibrant colors and intricate details of their apparel showcase the fashion trends of the time. In the background, one can see the Gototei and Ki-Raisha buildings, which were important cultural institutions in Kyoto. The print also features the Kinraisha, a temple located near the bridge. The Kamo River, with its clear waters, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. This artwork, created in the nineteenth century, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Utagawa Kunisada and Ando Hiroshige. It is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing future generations to appreciate the intricacies of Japanese art and history.
