EDITORS COMMENTS
Riverbank, Kakigaracho" is a stunning 19th century woodblock print by Inoue Yasuji, published in 1881. This work of art transports us back in time to the Meiji Era in Japan, specifically to the Nihonbashi Chuo area of Tokyo, along the Sumida River. The print depicts the tranquil riverbank at dusk, with boats and men returning from their day's work, as the sun begins to set and the sky illuminates with a beautiful array of colors. The perspective of the print offers a unique view of the riverbank, with the embankment and boats forming a geometric pattern against the backdrop of the cloudscape. The men, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, are shown going about their business, some walking along the riverbank while others are loading and unloading goods from the boats. The use of woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the print, with intricate details visible in the clothing, boats, and other objects. The boats, with their distinctive sails and oars, add a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise still scene. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Meiji Period, and a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of life along the Sumida River. It is a scene that has likely changed significantly over the years, making this print a valuable historical record as well as a work of art. The print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the cultural connections between Japan and the United States. Overall, "Riverbank, Kakigaracho" is a beautiful and evocative work of art that invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
