歌川広重「名所江戸百景 びくにはし雪中」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Bikuni Bridge in Snow -One Hundred Famous Views of Edo-

The print shows a snows cape with the fire-watch tower at Sukiya-cho seen across the bridge. The composition recalling a camera single, with the foreground shown in close view and the background in small scale to one side, is one of the characteristics of this series. A signboard inscribed "Yama-Kujira" occupies the major role in the foreground. Yama-kujira (literally meaning mountain whale) means wild boar. It is the sign of a restaurant named Owariya where they served yama -kujira as well as deer, monkey and other meat.

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
