EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tsukudajima island and the Fukagawa district under the full moon" transports viewers to a serene night scene in Edo, Japan. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa during the 19th century, this colour woodblock print showcases their mastery of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese art form. The image captures the beauty of Tsukudajima island as it basks in the soft glow of a full moon. The Fukagawa district lies peacefully along the Sumida River, with boats gently gliding through its calm waters. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element - from the meticulously rendered buildings on both sides of the riverbank to each stroke that brings life to the rippling waves. Underneath this tranquil setting lies a deeper narrative about transportation and daily life in Edo. A tugboat can be seen guiding smaller boats along the river, symbolizing how essential waterways were for trade and travel during this era. This particular print is part of an esteemed collection owned by Claude Monet himself. It serves as a testament to not only Hiroshige's artistic brilliance but also his influence on Western artists like Monet who drew inspiration from Japanese prints. With its ethereal atmosphere and masterful technique, this woodblock print continues to captivate audiences today, allowing us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in Edo's rich cultural heritage.
