About the Item

Artist: Hiroshige I Utagawa (1797 - 1858) Title: 19. Shichirigahama in Sagami Province Series: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Publisher: Tsutaya Kichizo Date: 1858 Size: 37.0 x 25.1 cm Condition Report: Slight soiling, very light creasing, minor tear in left margin, pigment in upper right corner. Hiroshige I Utagawa was renowned as one of the most skilled landscape artists of his time. Following in the footsteps of his teacher, Toyohiro Utagawa, he embraced producing images of natural landscapes at a time when travel between provinces was becoming more common, and convenient. With this new ease of travel came the demand for guides to these foreign locales in the form of both writing and images. Hiroshige I's 'Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido' was the beginning of a long career of series of both serene, and bustling, landscapes. 'The Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji' was one of Hiroshige's final series. While he produced two different series with the same name, the print visible here is from the latter. While the first series are half-sized prints oriented landscape, the second series is full-sized with portrait orientation. Here Mt. Fuji is shown from Shichirigahama in Sagami Province, modern-day Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture. The unusual, dark sands on the beach are due to a high amount of iron, which made the area a hotbed for blacksmiths. In the foreground, people walk down the beach or relax at a rest hut. The island resting in Sagami Bay is possibly Enoshima, a popular tourist destination to this day.
