EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Etchu Province: Pontoon Bridge at Toyama" (1853), showcases the picturesque beauty of Japan's Etchu Province during the Edo Period. This breathtaking scene is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue). The print depicts the iconic Pontoon Bridge at Toyama, where the curved, blue bridge connects the two banks of the Shogawa River. The bridge's structure, made up of large, flat boats, creates a unique and intriguing connection between the land and the water. The bridge's gentle curve mirrors the curve of the river, adding to the harmony and balance of the composition. The background is filled with vibrant green scenery, showcasing the lush vegetation and rolling hills that characterize the region. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print includes the title, artist's name, and series title in elegant, flowing script. The print also features several male figures, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. Their presence adds to the rich background of the image, further emphasizing the daily life and heritage of Japan during the 19th century. This stunning color woodblock print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's diverse landscapes and cultures. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of Japanese art.
