The woodblock print depicts Nihonbashi, the starting point of the Tokaido journey connecting Edo and Kyoto.
Under the sky painted with the colors of dawn,
the wooden doors, closed at night to protect the town's safety, open on either side, and a new day begins.
A procession of daimyo, about to depart from Edo, walks across the bridge.
Ahead, fishmongers who have finished purchasing goods from the riverbank and traveling merchants carrying their cargo intertwine,
showcasing the vibrant scene of Nihonbashi in the early morning.
This work perfectly preserves the exquisite composition of Hiroshige's original artwork,
while cleverly immersing Nobita and his friends in the everyday life of Edo-era townspeople.
Doraemon is transformed into a traveling merchant, carrying goods on his head, perhaps the seasonal bonito or sea bream favored by the people of Edo; Nobita, Suneo, and Gian help carry vegetables from the Yaoya shop and fish; Shizuka, while helping, is captivated by the passing daimyo procession;
Meanwhile, his sister Dorami sits obediently on the bridge railing,
gently watching over everyone from a distance.
Bathed in the morning light, Doraemon and his friends blend into the street scene of Nihonbashi in Edo-era times,
each immersed in their own role.
Please appreciate this image, noting the expressions and movements of the figures,
and the landscape depicted by Utagawa Hiroshige.
This traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock print technique, passed down from the Edo period, is meticulously crafted by contemporary engravers and paper makers, stitch by stitch (one print, one fold).
