"Nihonbashi" literally means Japanese bridge and it is the famous bridge in the centre of Edo (now Tokyo). This picture is a woodblock print in the ukiyo-e style and is one of a series "One Hunred Views of Edo" created in the 19th century by Hiroshige Ando. Van Gogh copied two of this series: Flowering Plum Tree and Bridge in the Rain.

I love the uniqueness of this one.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting interpretation
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely postcard. I want to imagine that those pinkness is because of cherry blossoms instead of the sun's light. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the link to Van Gogh's paintings.
Fantastic artwork! Don't you just love the old Japan?
