'View from Satta Peak', After Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川廣重, Ukiyo-e Woodblock, TokaidoCirca 1946
Circa 1946
About the Item
An ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing a view of travelers taking a break from their hike to enjoy the view of Kiyomi Bay and a snow covered Mt. Fuji. Signed in Kanji lower left, "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.
Instead of depicting the post station Yui itself, Hiroshige shows us nearby Satta Mountain, a particularly steep section of the road and another of the many natural barriers that existed along the Tōkaidō. Two travelers stand close to the edge, taking a pause in their journey to admire the spectacular views of both the sea and Mt. Fuji, while behind them a local powers forward with a large bundle of firewood strapped to his back. Because of its remote location and placement on the mountainside, this is one of the few views from the series that still exists today, as the mountain is a popular hiking destination.
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.
