EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Maple Trees at Mama, Tekona Shrine and Tsugi Bridge is a stunning example of the artist's mastery of the color woodblock print technique during the 19th century in Japan. This print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, which showcases the beauty and diversity of the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The composition of this print features the vibrant colors of autumn, with maple trees in various stages of leaf change, framing the Tsugi Bridge and the Tekona Shrine in the background. The bridge, with its arched structure, spans the river and connects the two landmarks, creating a sense of harmony and unity. The cartouche in the bottom left corner identifies the location as Mama, Tekona Shrine, and Tsugi Bridge. The shrine, dedicated to the goddess of childbirth, is depicted with its red torii gate and intricate roof, while the bridge is adorned with a blue and white stripe design. The print also showcases the daily life of the Edo period, with people in traditional clothing walking along the bridge and admiring the scenery. The intricate details of the trees, leaves, and structures are a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and attention to detail. This print is a valuable piece of Asian art history, representing the cultural and religious significance of the natural world and the passage of seasons in Japan during the Tokugawa period. The use of color and composition in this print continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
