Temma Bridge, Settsu Province
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) during the 1830s. This masterpiece is part of Hokusai's "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" series, and specifically, it is the eleventh print in the subseries titled "Famous Bridges of Various Provinces." Set against the backdrop of the Seta River in the Settsu Province of Japan, the bridge depicted in this print is Temma Bridge. The bridge, also known as Saki no Ohashi or Sorobeku Ohashi, is a significant geographical feature in the Osaka region of Kinki, Japan. The bridge connects the provinces of Settsu and Yamato and has been a vital transportation hub since the Edo Period (1603-1868). The print showcases the bustling scene around the bridge, with boats and pedestrians making their way across it. The bridge's structure is beautifully rendered, with intricate details such as the lanterns and the procession of people making their way along the bridge. The boats in the river add a sense of movement and activity to the scene, while the bridge's blue color stands out against the muted tones of the background. Hokusai's use of color and composition in this print is masterful. The artist expertly employs a color woodblock printing process to create a vivid and detailed image. The boats in the foreground are rendered in bright colors, while the background is dominated by muted tones, drawing the viewer's attention to the bridge and the activity surrounding it. This print is a testament to Hokusai's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a place and moment in time. It is a valuable piece of Japanese heritage art that continues to captivate audiences today and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
