EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sumida River in Colors of Spring" is an exquisite woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada II, created in 1862 during the late Edo period of Japan. This image is part of a series of 48 prints, showcasing the changing seasons along the Sumida River. In this particular print, we witness the vibrant colors and beauty of spring. The scene is set along the riverbank, where a man, dressed in elegant clothing of the era, is seen admiring the view from the deck of a carriage. He wears a long robe, accessorized with a sash and a wide-brimmed hat, shielding him from the sun. His attire is completed with a pair of high-boots, known as "carriage boots," which were a popular fashion accessory during the period. The man's attention is drawn towards a group of people, mostly women, who are enjoying a leisurely day out. They are dressed in various colorful garments, some wearing traditional kimonos, while others wear robes and platform shoes, or "geta." One woman carries a parasol, adding a touch of elegance and protection from the sun. In the background, we see the bustling activity along the riverbank, with boats and merchants selling their wares. The Sumida River, with its crystal-clear waters, reflects the blue sky and the colorful scene on its surface. The print is a testament to the rich heritage and fashion of Japan during the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the time. This masterpiece by Utagawa Kunisada II is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the beauty and artistry of the Ukiyo-e genre. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of Japanese art.
