EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Upper Floor of the Gankiro Tea House in Yokohama, 4th month, 1860" takes us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. Created by Utagawa Hiroshige II, a renowned artist of the time, this triptych of polychrome woodblock prints showcases his mastery and attention to detail. The scene depicted transports us inside the tea house, where we are greeted with a breathtaking view of Yokohama's bustling harbor through large windows. The interior decoration is exquisite, with traditional Japanese elements such as sliding doors and delicate paper lanterns adorning the space. A chandelier hangs from above, casting a warm glow on the room below. The composition captures both men and women engaged in various activities within this lively setting. Some are enjoying cups of tea while engaging in conversation or contemplation. Others seem engrossed in their surroundings or perhaps lost in thought. Hiroshige II's use of ink and color on paper brings life to every figure present, highlighting their individuality amidst a busy environment. This artwork not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insight into daily life during this significant era. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print stands as a testament to Hiroshige II's contribution to ukiyo-e art and offers viewers an enchanting glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
