View from Azuma Bridge, from the series "Ten Precincts of Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa (Asakusa Kinruzan jikkei)" c. 1783

"View from Azuma Bridge" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga, created around 1783. It is part of the series "Ten Precincts of Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa (Asakusa Kinruzan jikkei)" depicting scenes from the popular Asakusa district in Edo (present-day Tokyo). The print showcases three women, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, standing on a bridge overlooking a lively river scene filled with boats. The image captures the bustling energy of Edo's urban landscape, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the city's residents. This print, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a testament to Kiyonaga's mastery of portraying both the beauty of everyday life and the vibrant spirit of Edo-period Japan.
