EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's View of Leafy Cherry Trees along the Sumida River, from the series Famous Views of the Eastern Capital, is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print that captures the beauty and serenity of Japan's Sumida River during the blooming season of the cherry trees. The print, created around 1831, depicts a picturesque scene of the riverbank adorned with pink and white cherry blossoms, with the Sumida River meandering through the background. The estuary and the mouth of the river are visible in the distance, with boats and local people enjoying the scenic view. The print is characterized by its intricate details, from the delicate petals of the cherry trees to the calligraphy in the cartouche and the background people going about their daily lives. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the pink blossoms and the green leaves, adds depth and vibrancy to the print. This masterpiece of Japanese art, created during the Edo period, is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as a block printer and his ability to capture the essence of nature and the human experience. The print is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
