Ryogoku Bridge is one of Tokyo's most historically significant river crossings, and Oda renders it with an engineer's appreciation for structure combined with an artist's eye for light. His bridge compositions form a cohesive sub-series within his Tokyo views that many collectors pursue as a group. Watanabe editions command $1,000-$3,000; the subject's popularity keeps demand consistent.
Description
The famous Ryogoku Bridge spanning the Sumida River, a subject that connects Oda to the great ukiyo-e tradition of Edo bridge views while treating it with modern atmospheric technique.
