Circa 1946
About the Item
Ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing a panoramic view of the the coast at Shinagawa, circa 1850. Signed in Kanji upper left, "Hiroshige Ga" for for Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) and printed circa 1946 by Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981). An exceptionally crisp image with fresh color, printed on traditional Washi paper and showing delicate bokashi gradation of sumi ink in the foreground, horizon and upper sky. Sheet Dimensions: 10.25 H x 15.25 W inches.
The sun rises over Shinagawa, the very first of the fifty-three stations. Our view is of the entrance to the town and what appears to be the tail end of a daimyo procession. Villagers stand to the right of the road to allow them to pass. To the left of the procession are several stalls selling to travelers. A waitress stands outside one of the booths, while a white-robed man watches the procession from his doorway. Ships appear in the harbor while the Tōkaidō Road hugs the distant coastline.
This example is from Okuyama's mid-century reissue of the artist's "Fifty Three Stations of the Tokaido Road", a series of Ukiyo-e prints created between 1833 and 1855. These depicted various views of the most important five main trade roads connecting Kyoto to modern-day Tokyo during the Edo period (1603-1868). A comic poem or "kyoka" also appears, inscribed in elegant kuzushiji script.
The best-known student of Utagawa Toyohiro (ca.1773-1829), Utagawa Hiroshige studied the Western style introduced by the founder of the Utagawa school, Toyoharu (1735-1814). Together with Hokusai, Hiroshige is considered one of the two leading Japanese landscape painters of the nineteenth century and he became one of the foremost representatives of the Ukiyo-e movement. He created more than 400 woodcut and woodblock prints of actors, warriors, courtesans and, particularly, naturalistic landscapes of Japan. Hiroshige's work was highly regarded in his own time and also became influential in the development of European Modernist painting of the late nineteenth century, especially that of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists including Monet, Van Gogh and Gauguin.
