Sumida River, Late 1830s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, created during the late Edo period (1830s). This artwork is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Famous Places of Edo," which showcases various scenic locations around the Japanese capital. The print depicts the tranquil Sumida River, which flows through the heart of Edo, now known as Tokyo. The river, with its gentle current, reflects the vibrant colors of the cherry blossoms lining the riverbank. The trees are in full bloom, their pink petals cascading into the water, creating a breathtaking scene of nature's beauty. Boats and boatsmen can be seen on the river, adding a sense of activity to the otherwise serene landscape. The fisherfolk on the riverbank are engaged in their daily routine, casting their nets into the water. The rural setting, with its rustic charm, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people during the Tokugawa period. The print is a masterpiece of color and perspective, with the blue river contrasting beautifully with the pink cherry blossoms and the green foliage. The background people add depth and scale to the scene, making it an engaging and immersive experience for the viewer. This refurbished woodblock print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of Hiroshige's work. The print's regionalism and focus on the natural beauty of Edo resonate with us even today, reminding us of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural and geographical features.
