EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Mitsuke: Tenryū River View" transports viewers to a serene scene along the Tenryūgawa river. Created by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa in the 19th century, this artwork is now housed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The print showcases two ferry-punts gracefully gliding on either side of a sandbank. In the foreground, two boatmen navigate their vessel with expertise and precision. Their presence adds a sense of human activity amidst the tranquil natural surroundings. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of Hiroshige's brush brings life to each element within the composition. The boatmen wear traditional hats while one enjoys his smoking pipe—a subtle reminder of leisurely moments during their workday. As we gaze at this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era when river travel was essential for both trade and exploration. The print captures a moment frozen in time—an invitation for us to imagine ourselves as travellers embarking on our own journey along this picturesque river. With its vibrant colours and meticulous craftsmanship, "Mitsuke: Tenryū River View" serves as a testament to Hiroshige's mastery as an artist. It invites us not only to appreciate its beauty but also to reflect upon Japan's rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations around the world today.
