Painting Description
Bridge with Wisteria," or "Kameido Tenjin Keidai" is plate 57 from the renowned ukiyo-e print series "100 Views of Edo," created by the esteemed artist Utagawa Hiroshige, who is also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is celebrated for its dynamic composition that adeptly highlights the natural beauty of Japan, combined with its delicate yet striking depiction of architectural elements.
Published in 1856, "The Bridge with Wisteria" depicts a scene from the precincts of the Tenjin Shrine at Kameido in Tokyo, formerly known as Edo. Among the points of significant interest, is the shrine's drum bridge (Taikobashi), a full circle bridge and wisteria that blossoms in the spring, both iconic elements of the location and the festival held in late April and early May.
Hiroshige adopts the technique of natural framing in this iconic print, with the drum bridge constructing the lower frame, and the elegantly drooping violet wisteria blooms forming the upper frame. In the center, viewers can observe people strolling across the bridge or standing beneath the wisteria trellis, enjoying the scenic beauty. This combination of architectural and natural aesthetics vividly captures the tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere of the locale, reflecting Hiroshige's masterful ability to intertwine human activity with the natural environment.
As with all of his works in the "100 Views of Edo" series, Hiroshige's "The Bridge with Wisteria" beautifully encapsulates the everyday life of the Edo period and reflects the artist's persistent pursuit of bringing out the intrinsic beauty of the city and the surrounding countryside. The print is held in high regard for its exceptional elegance and detail, serving as a testament to Hiroshige's lasting impact on the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art.
