Reproduction of Japanese Woodblock Print - Hiroshige Utagawa, "Suidô Bridge and Surugadai" with Black Kobonori

This stunning reproduction of the Japanese woodblock print "Suidô Bridge and Surugadai" by the master Hiroshige Utagawa, renowned for his urban and natural landscape scenes, captures the very essence of 19th-century Japanese aesthetics. Through this artwork, Hiroshige invites us on a visual journey into the heart of a bygone era, where everyday life blends seamlessly with the beauty of nature.

In the foreground, a black kobonori, a small traditional-style sculpture, stands out in the image. This kobonori, representing a typical figure or scene from Japan during that time, adds a touch of elegance and contrast, enhancing the depth of the composition. Its delicate shadow and fascinating texture are highlighted against the detailed landscapes and soft colors of the print.

The scene depicts the Suidô Bridge, a prominent crossing point in the city of Edo (now Tokyo), through the lively district of Surugadai, and is enriched by the characteristic light and shadow effects of the Edo period. The fine details of the traditional buildings, passersby, and natural elements like trees and clouds create a serene and timeless atmosphere.

The reproduction’s size (30 x 40 cm) allows for the richness of the details to be captured while maintaining the intimacy of the original work. Perfectly framed, this unique piece will bring a refined touch to your interior while offering a glimpse into a past era, beautifully interpreted by one of the most renowned masters of ukiyo-e.
