About the Item

Yamanaka Village near Fujikawa (Fujikawa yamanaka no sato yori yama), is a superb color woodblock print on paper, the plate no. 38 from the series Famous Places near Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Gojusantsugi meisho zue). Published by Tsutaya Kichizo, this print suite was designed by the ukiyo-e old master, Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川広重, 1797-1858) around 1855 – 1857 and after his travel along the Tokaido in 1832. In very good condition, except visible aging signs (discolorations, or little holes or abrasions of the paper along the edges), this original print shows his vivid colors and the talented graphic touch of Hiroshige. Provenance: German private collection, assembled between the 1950s and 2000. Collect this superb ukiyo-e, depicting a snowy Japanese Landscape, to embellish your house with a sophisticated Oriental touch! The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (東海道五十三次, Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), is a series of ukiyo-e woodcut prints created by Utagawa Hiroshige after his first travel along the Tōkaidō in 1832. The Tōkaidō road, linking the shōgun's capital, Edo, to the imperial one, Kyōto, was the main travel and transport artery of old Japan. This was also the most important of the "Five Roads" (Gokaidō)—the five major roads of Japan created or developed during the Edo period to further strengthen the control of the central shogunate administration over the whole country. The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō was such a popular subject that led Hiroshige to create some 30 series of woodcut prints on it, all very different one from the other by their size (ōban or chuban), their designs or even their number (some series include just a few prints). The Hōeidō edition of the Tōkaidō is Hiroshige's best known work, and the best sold ever ukiyo-e Japanese prints. Created after Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, this print series established this new major theme of ukiyo-e, the landscape print, or fūkei-ga, with a special focus on "famous views" (meisho). Hiroshige's series met a full success, not only in Japan, but later in Western countries.
