Description

This is an art book printed in the 1960s, featuring prints from the Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi (東海道五拾三次), or "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō." Originally created by the famed ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige during the Edo Period, this series depicts scenic views and daily life along the Tōkaidō Road, which was a mapped highway dotted by carved markers that connected Edo (modern Tokyo) to Kyoto and smaller cities and towns between its path. Each station is uniquely illustrated with detailed landscapes, cultural nuances, and the experiences of travelers. The book's cover is elegantly wrapped in a fabric pattern with a title label in calligraphy, exuding traditional Japanese aesthetics. Inside, the vibrant reproductions are true to the original woodblock prints, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery in color and composition. In storage for the better part of 30 years, the prints remain colorful, crisp, and vivid. Printed in the 1960s, this reproduction preserves the legacy of one of Japan's most celebrated artistic achievements, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the Tōkaidō.
