Surugadai" is a notable artwork attributed to the prolific Japanese ukiyo-e artist, Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Part of a broader series known as "Famous Views of Edo," this artwork illustrates a panoramic view of the district of Surugadai, located in Edo, which is known today as Tokyo. Constructed with a blend of delicate lining and detailed patterning, the work is widely recognized as emblematic of Kuniyoshi stylistic maturity and keen attention to realism.

The "Surugadai" piece showcases Kuniyoshi's remarkable ability to capture the essence of a given locale, while integrating intricate architectural elements, natural landscapes, and daily life activities. The composition of the landscape is primarily horizontal, invoking a sense of vastness and depth in the viewer, a characteristic trait in many of Kuniyoshi's works.

Surugadai, as depicted in Kuniyoshi's artwork, exudes a tranquillity that is juxtaposed against the consistent dynamism of figures moving through the scene – possibly merchants, travellers, or locals – subtly bringing to life the sociocultural realities of the Edo period.

As with many of Kuniyoshi's works, "Surugadai" is printed using the traditional nishiki-e woodblock printing technique. This technique requires meticulous attention to detail, as each color layer is carved into a separate woodblock, a testament to the artist's technical proficiency.

Kuniyoshi's "Surugadai" is more than a depiction of a geographic location. It functions as a window into the urban landscape of Edo, and through its accurate yet creative representation of people, architecture, and landscape, it allows the viewer a glimpse into Japanese life during one of its most culturally rich and transformative periods.
