EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Bamboo Yards and Kyo Bridge (Kyobashi Takegashi)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," dates back to 1857. This exquisite piece of art transports us to the Edo period of Japan, showcasing the tranquil scene of the Nishiki River estuary. The arched Kyo Bridge, also known as Kyobashi Takegashi, is depicted as a graceful structure, connecting the two banks of the river. The left side of the print is dominated by the vast expanse of bamboo yards, their tall, slender stalks reaching towards the full moon, which casts a gentle glow over the scene. The moon's reflection shimmers on the water, adding an ethereal quality to the image. Boats and boats with lanterns can be seen making their way across the river, adding a sense of movement and activity to the otherwise serene landscape. The background is filled with the silhouettes of men, some standing and observing the scene, while others are engaged in various activities. The intricate details of the print, from the textured bamboo to the ripples on the water, are a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the art of ukiyo-e. This stunning print, with its breathtaking depiction of nature, the bridge, and the people, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, geography, or the history of woodblock printing.
