Yodogawa, ca. 1834 - A Serene Journey Under the Radiant Moon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige transports us back to the enchanting Edo period of Japan in the early 19th century. The scene depicts a tranquil evening on Yodogawa, a picturesque river renowned for its natural beauty and historical significance. Underneath a luminous full moon that casts an ethereal glow upon the water's surface, we witness a group of passengers gracefully gliding through the calm river on traditional boats. The skilled boatmen navigate effortlessly as they transport their diverse clientele across this scenic landscape. Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink and color on paper. From the delicate ripples created by each paddle stroke to the intricate patterns adorning both male and female passengers' garments, his artistic prowess brings this moment to life. As we admire this masterpiece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are reminded not only of Hiroshige's mastery but also his profound connection with nature and celestial wonders. With subtle hints at astronomy and lunar cycles, he seamlessly merges science with artistry. Through this remarkable woodblock print, Hiroshige invites us into a world where time stands still—a realm where tradition meets innovation and serenity intertwines with human activity. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of Ukiyo-e's
