EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's stunning woodblock print, titled "Ayase River and Kanegafuchi" (Ayasegawa Kanegafuchi), is a captivating image from his famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), created in 1857. This oban-sized print showcases the picturesque Ayase River estuary and the nearby village of Kanegafuchi, located in present-day Tokyo, Japan. The scene is set against the backdrop of the natural beauty of the river and its surrounding geographical features. The river's mouth is depicted with a sense of tranquility, as the gentle current carries a raft with men and a guy standing on it, ready for rafting. The village of Kanegafuchi is nestled on the left bank of the river, with houses and people going about their daily lives. The artist masterfully uses color and composition to bring the scene to life. The vibrant greens of the leaves and flowers contrast beautifully with the blue-grey tones of the river and the sky. The print also showcases Hiroshige's skillful use of perspective, as the viewer is drawn into the scene and feels as if they are standing on the raft, looking out at the village and the river. This woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this time.
