About the Item
About Vestiges of Edo at Bell Tower (Toki no Kane Edo no Omokage)
Artist: URBANOWICZ Mateusz
Woodcarver: SEKIOKA Senrei III
Printer: ITO Tatsuya
Year: 2021
A former castle town situated not too far from Tokyo, Kawagoe is a city where the beauty of historical architecture still remains to this day, and loved by locals today as “Koedo”, or literally “little Edo”, thanks to its historical and cultural connections to Edo (ancient Tokyo).
We are proud to announce Vestiges of Edo at Bell Tower, the second of our landscape series Vestiges of Edo that launched in the summer of 2020. Produced in two versions, these landscapes feature Toki no Kane, the iconic Bell Tower of Kawagoe, whose bells have continued to resonate throughout the city for over 400 years.
Both works are aizuri, which is a genre of ukiyo-e that only uses different shades of blue (ai = indigo, zuri = print). In Noon, the pure whiteness of the clouds is enhanced by the contrasting brisk, blue hues, while the slight hint of red in Evening conveys a gentle, summer twilight. The fluffy clouds, often found floating in summer skies, are raised in relief to give them a soft yet dynamic finish.

- Vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda - WinterLocated in Koto-Ku, 13About Vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda (Tsukuda ni Nokoru Edo no Omokage) Artist: URBANOWICZ Mateusz Woodcarver: SEKIOKA Senrei III Printer: ITO Tatsuya Year: 2020 Our first original landscape ukiyo-e depicting Tsukuda, a neighborhood next to Tsukishima station in the east of Tokyo. This artwork highlights the striking contrast between the modern architecture and historical elements, that co-exist in harmony in Tsukuda today. The Japanese title Tsukuda ni Nokoru Edo no Omokage translates to “the vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda” - the word omokage (vestige) refers to the river, an aspect of old Edo that has continued to exist to this day, despite the fact that other things may have evolved or disappeared with time. When we trace back the history of ukiyo-e, we can see that there have been many foreign ukiyo-e artists who created important shin-hanga works in the 20th century, such as Paul Jacoulet, Elizabeth Keith...Category
