Designer: Ando Hiroshige Era: Mid Showa | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ![]() Description: This is a print from what is perhaps the single most famous series of Japanese woodblock prints ever produced - "The 53 Stations of the Tokaido", designed by Hiroshige in the 1830s. The print you see here is a reproduction version produced in the post-war period by one of the numerous publishing houses working at that time (Adachi, Takamizawa, Yuyudo, Bijutsu-sha, Yamada Shoin, Kyoto Hanga-in, etc.) Here at Mokuhankan we have a wide selection of such prints, far too many to scan and prepare for the website one by one. We don't always have every print in this series in stock, but try to keep as many of them available as possible. The one you see in this photo is on hand, but feel free to contact us about other designs in this series that you don't see on the site ... Image information: Odawara was one of the largest stations in the highway. To reach it - seen far away at the foot of the mountains - people had to cross the Sakawa river. In the Tokugawa era, building bridges over many of the wide rivers was forbidden, and people had to rely on special laborers to help them cross. Hiroshige drew mountains in very interesting shapes and colors, adding Odawara castle at the foot of the mountains. To get to the next station - Hakone - people had to cross over the steep Hakone mountain. ![]() ![]() Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
