About the Item

Artist: Hiroshige I Utagawa (1797 - 1858) Title: 20. Shimousa, Choushi no Hama, Toura Series: Famous Views of the Sixty Odd Provinces Publisher: Koshimuraya Heisuke Date: 1853-1858 Size: 35.8 x 23.9 cm Condition Report: Trimmed, horizontal fold in the centre, some thinned areas, slightly torn top left corner, minor spots. The Outer Bay at Choshi Beach in Shimousa Province. 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' followed his groundbreaking 'Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido' with a long career of series of both serene, and bustling, landscapes. In 1853 he began his 'Famous Views of the Sixty Odd Provinces', a series of sixty-nine prints, each giving a view of a famous sight from each of the sixty-eight provinces, and the capital Edo. Taking views stretching across the whole of the country of the Japan at the time, it was a little window into what was available for those looking to travel to any province. Fishermen float around the mysteriously shaped rock, Senki ga iwa (Thousand cavalrymen rock), shown here while Mount Fuji overlooks Byoubu Bay and Choshi Bridge from the remote distance. Shimousa was a province in the area of modern Chiba and Ibaraki Prefectures and one of the eight Edo period provinces of Kanto. The Senki ga iwa's bizarre shape drew tourists and travellers to it, and so probably made the ideal landmark for Hiroshige I's view into Shimousa Province.
