Kokan, Shiba (1747-1818)

'Tweelandbruk' ('Bridge between Two Provinces'). 1787. Japan, Edo period. Hand-coloured copperplate etching, 28.5 x 41.8 cm. Shiba Kôkan was the first Japanese to produce a copperplate print in 1783, a technique he learnt by studying a manual purchased from Dutch traders in Nagasaki. Here Kôkan presents a native Japanese view of Ryôgoku Bridge over the Sumida River in Edo (modern Tokyo), in which he maximizes the effects of vanishing-point perspective.
