Bird's-eye view of Komagata Temple & Azuma Bridge???????? 100 famous Views of Edo ????????
-
A beautiful woodblock print reproducing one of Hiroshige's famous illustrations from the collection "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." This print shows Komagata-do Temple and Azuma Bridge. Originally published by Uoei, 1857, this reproduction is by Yuyudo. Although undated, it is likely from the 1930's. Although a reproduction, it is a genuine woodblock copy (not a modern digital or lithographic print). In excellent clean condition, it is loosely tipped into a card folder / passe partout, but can be removed for framing. Komagata-do Temple is located in the triangular plot of land near Komagata Bridge in Kaminarimon 2-chome, Taito Ward. Originally, it was a storehouse-style temple located on the riverbank in Komagata 1-chome, enshrining a Bato Kannon (Horse-Headed Kannon). Edoites pronounce Komagata-do Temple as "Komando." The illustration, perhaps inspired by the famous poem by the geisha Takao, "You are now near Komagata, singing the cuckoo," depicts a cuckoo flying in the sky. The print of the rainy May sky is magnificent, showcasing the skill of the printer. The picture shows Azuma Bridge from the roof of Komagata-do Temple, depicting houses on the Honjo riverbank on the other side. The white wall belongs to the lower residence of Hosokawa Notonokami. A red flag is visible in the foreground. This is the signboard flag of a general store called "Hyakusuke" located across the street from Komagata-do, which sold rouge and face powder. It was designed to be visible from a distance, featuring the rouge they sold. It was a very eye-catching signboard at the time. 34cm x 23cm. Passe partout is 49cm x 34cm. .
