About the Item
An ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing travelers moving through Sayo Mountain Pass. Signed in Kanji upper 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 mountains, horizon and upper sky. Sheet Dimensions: 10.25 H x 15.25 W inches.
Here we see a mountain pass known as Saya no Nakayama, known for its winding path and deep valleys to either side. This location was particularly known for the rock depicted in the center of the image. Known as the “night weeping stone,” the rock is linked to a legend about a pregnant woman who was murdered by bandits at the site. The child miraculously survived, was raised by a local priest, and eventually avenged his mother’s death. Every night the stone supposedly cries out in the woman’s voice.
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.
(For descriptions of the individual works, we are indebted to Nicholas Scaglione and Professor Ingrid Furniss of Lafayette College). [H26]
