Tsukudajima Gyoshoi, 1868 - A Captivating Night on the Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing polychrome woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige takes us back to the enchanting Edo period in Japan. Titled "Tsukudajima Gyoshoi, 1868" this artwork showcases Hiroshige's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form during that time. The scene unfolds at night, with stars twinkling above and flames flickering from braziers aboard boats. The reflection of these fires dances upon the calm sea, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Hiroshige's use of ink and color on paper brings out the vibrant hues that highlight both the natural beauty and man-made elements of this picturesque location. Intriguingly, Tsukudajima Gyoshoi was known for its bustling fishing industry during this era. The artist captures several boats gracefully gliding through the water as they transport their precious cargo under a starlit sky. This print not only showcases Hiroshige's artistic skill but also serves as a historical record of Japan's maritime heritage. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece allows viewers to immerse themselves in a different time and place. It invites contemplation about transportation methods, geographical features, and cultural practices prevalent during 19th-century Japan. Ando Hiroshige's "Tsukudajima Gyoshoi" is truly a testament
