EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, titled "東都名所 --本橋の白雨 Sunshower Nihonbashi" transports viewers to the vibrant streets of Edo period Japan. The artist skillfully employs effective compositional techniques to create a mesmerizing scene that captures both the tranquility and liveliness of this era. The focal point of the print is a view of the Nihonbashi bridge spanning across the Sumida River. Its elegant architecture stands out against the backdrop of a sudden shower, where raindrops fall gently from bright blue skies. This sunshower creates an interesting contrast between natural activity and human vigor. As we observe this great bridge, bustling with life, we are drawn into its surroundings. Hiroshige masterfully depicts vigorous human figures engaged in various daily activities along its banks. From merchants transporting goods on their backs to pedestrians strolling leisurely, each detail adds depth and authenticity to this vivid snapshot of Edo's bustling streets. Measuring at 10 1/8 x 15 inches (25.7 x 38.1 cm), this exquisite print showcases Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail using ink and color on paper. It offers us a glimpse into Tokyo's rich history while highlighting his artistic prowess in capturing fleeting moments like sunshowers. Artokoloro presents this remarkable piece from their Liszt Collection as part of their dedication to preserving Japanese
