About this artwork
This colour woodblock print shows the sun rising as seen from Bandai Bridge, as the title tells us. It was made in Japan around 1877 to 1880 and is also known under the Japanese title Bandai bashi hinode. Kobayashi Kiyochika was a ukiyo-e artist who became known for prints that explored light and shade, an approach influenced by Western art. His work belongs to the Meiji period, when Japan was changing quickly, and many collectors regard him as the last significant ukiyo-e artist.
On your wall: A quiet dawn scene like this suits a study, bedroom or hallway, and sits comfortably in calm interiors with a feeling for Japanese art.

About Kobayashi Kiyochika
Kobayashi Kiyochika was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, known for colour woodblock prints and newspaper illustrations made during the Meiji period (1868–1912). His work records Japan's rapid modernisation, from red-brick buildings and trains to scenes of the First Sino-Japanese War. He used light and shade inspired by Western art, and many collectors regard his prints as the last significant ukiyo-e.
