Shinkyo, Sacred Bridge at Nikko, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika, created during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of Japan's nineteenth century. This piece is part of Kiyochika's "Sketches of Famous Places in Japan" series, showcasing the beauty and cultural significance of various sites across the country. The image depicts the iconic Shinkyo Bridge, or Sacred Bridge, located in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, in the Kanto region of Japan. The bridge spans the Daiya River and leads to the Futarasan Jinja, or Futarasan Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning architecture and natural beauty. The print captures the breathtaking wintry scene, with snow-capped mountains in the background and the bridge's red lacquer gates and white railings standing out against the pristine white snow. The bridge's wooden structure, supported by large stone pillars, is intricately detailed, and the river below is calm and serene, reflecting the surrounding landscape. The use of color in this woodblock print is masterful, with the vibrant red of the bridge gates and the muted tones of the snow and mountains creating a harmonious and visually striking contrast. The print also highlights the concept of the Ukiyo-e tradition, which emphasizes the transient nature of life and the beauty of the natural world. This print is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Japan during the late nineteenth century and is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or geography. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
