This work, from his 118-print series <EM>One Hundred Famous Views of Edo</EM>, shows a temple and bridge on the Sumida River, which flows through the city. Shops and restaurants flank the temple; the red flag on the pole indicates a perfume shop. Like the other works in the ambitious series, this print demonstrates the artist's innovative compositional approaches. He crops out much of the temple (at lower left) and places the banner pole and airborne bird in the near foreground so as to suggest movement into depth. Both Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh owned prints from this series and were among numerous European artists who were fascinated by Hiroshige's techniques.","remarks":"Kienbusch 4-6 Reinstallation Fall 2010"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"&nbsp;–1996&nbsp;Anne van Biema collection (New York, NY), by gift to the Princeton University Art Museum, 1996.","remarks":null}],"media":[{"id":33650,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/1996-215_1","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"PUAM photo"},{"id":1312,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/1996-215","isprimary":0,"rank":2,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1996,\" <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University</em> 56, no. 1/2 (1997): p. 75-115.","citation":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1996,\" <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University</em> 56, no. 1/2 (1997): p. 75-115., p. 102","date":1997,"id":3051,"uri":"https://www.jstor.org/stable/3774760"}],"exhibitions":[],"geography":[{"displaygeography":"Place made: Asia, Japan","code":"Place made","continent":"Asia","subcontinent":null,"country":"Japan","region":null,"state":null,"city":null,"county":null,"subregion":null,"locale":null,"locus":null,"river":null,"excavation":null,"geoname":"http://www.geonames.org/1861060/japan.html","location":{"lat":"","lon":""}}],"terms":[{"id":2033838,"term":"Japanese","aatid":300018519,"termtype":"Culture"},{"id":2054256,"term":"prints","aatid":300041273,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2084828,"term":"temples","aatid":300007595,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2158039,"term":"birds","aatid":null,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2086968,"term":"bridges (built works)","aatid":300007836,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2119826,"term":"lakes","aatid":300008680,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2033898,"term":"Edo (Japanese period)","aatid":300106643,"termtype":"Period / Style"},{"id":2054328,"term":"oban","aatid":300041290,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2034112,"term":"Japanese printmaking styles","aatid":300106750,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2051508,"term":"views","aatid":300015424,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2054726,"term":"woodblock prints","aatid":300041405,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2155129,"term":"woodcut","aatid":300053296,"termtype":"Techniques"},{"id":2054328,"term":"oban","aatid":300041290,"termtype":"Materials"},{"id":2055845,"term":"color","aatid":300056130,"termtype":"Materials"},{"id":2043820,"term":"paper","aatid":300014109,"termtype":"Materials"},{"id":2167672,"term":"ink","aatid":300015012,"termtype":"Materials"}],"classifications":[{"id":2054256,"classification":"prints"},{"id":2034112,"classification":"japanese printmaking styles"},{"id":2054328,"classification":"oban"},{"id":2054726,"classification":"woodblock prints"}],"cultures":[{"id":13690,"culture":"Japanese","alphasort":"Japanese","begindate":0,"enddate":0,"displayculture":"Japanese","displaydate":null}],"cultureterms":[{"id":2033838,"culture":"Japanese"}],"periods":[{"id":12589,"period":"Edo period","alphasort":"Edo period","begindate":1603,"enddate":1868,"displayperiod":"Edo period, 1603–1868","displaydate":"1603–1868"}],"periodterms":[{"id":2033898,"period":"Edo (Japanese period)"}],"attribute_groups":[{"id":2199319,"term":"Asian Art","termtype":"Collecting Area"},{"id":2199327,"term":"Prints and Drawings","termtype":"Collecting Area"}],"dimensionelements":[{"element":"block","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"34.00"},{"element":"block","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"22.60"},{"element":"sheet","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"35.10"},{"element":"sheet","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"23.00"},{"element":"mat","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"48.90"},{"element":"mat","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"36.20"}],"packages":[{"packageid":241081,"name":"TDC-Final [7]"},{"packageid":207234,"name":"SAB_Gala2021"}],"primaryimage":["https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/1996-215_1"],"displaymaker":"Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川 広重, 1797–1858; born and died Tokyo, Japan","displayculture":"Japanese","displayperiod":"Edo period, 1603–1868","caption":"Japanese, Edo period (1603–1868), Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川 広重 (1797–1858; born and died Tokyo, Japan), Komagata Hall and Azuma Bridge (Komagata-dō Azuma-bashi), ca. 1857.
