Beroemde plekken in de Oostelijke hoofdstad: Genietend van een avondbriesje bij de Ryogoku brug c. 1847 - 1848

This woodblock print, “Beroemde plekken in de Oostelijke hoofdstad: Genietend van een avondbriesje bij de Ryogoku brug,” is a vibrant example of the "ukiyo-e" style of Japanese art, created by Utagawa Hiroshige (I) between 1847 and 1848. The print depicts a stylishly dressed woman enjoying the cool evening breeze by the Ryogoku Bridge, a prominent landmark in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The artist's mastery of color and detail captures the beauty of the city and the elegance of its inhabitants, offering a glimpse into the social life of Edo in the mid-19th century. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
