About the Item
An ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing a panoramic view of the Nihonbashi business district in Tokyo, circa 1850. Signed in Kanji lower right, "Hiroshige Ga"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 horizon and upper sky. Sheet Dimensions: 10.25 H x 15.25 W inches.
Nihonbashi (literally "Japan bridge"), located in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), was the starting point of the Tōkaidō and all of Japan’s highways radiated from it. The print is set in the morning and depicts the beginning of a daimyo’s journey home. Two emblem bearers lead the daimyo’s large procession over the bridge. Commoners clear out of the way so that the procession may pass. Not doing so would risk imprisonment, physical punishment, or worse.
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.
