About the Item

Japanese Vintage Kimono Obi, "The Fifty-Three Stations of Tokaido" by Kimono-Couture -Dimensions: 422×30cm -Condition: Very Good Condition Utagawa Hiroshige, a prominent ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period through the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, is renowned for his landscape and woodblock prints. Among his masterpieces is the series known as "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido" (Tokaido Gojusan-tsugi), depicting the various post towns along the Tokaido, a major highway connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. The Tokaido was a crucial transportation route during the Edo period, linking the political capital, Edo, to the imperial capital, Kyoto. Hiroshige captured the landscapes and customs of each post town, employing the techniques of ukiyo-e to create vivid and aesthetically pleasing prints. This series showcases Hiroshige's mastery in portraying diverse sceneries, offering valuable insights into the society and culture of the Edo period. The artist's prints served not only as works of art but also as practical guides for travelers of that era. Even today, these prints are highly esteemed for their beauty and historical significance, providing a glimpse into the aesthetics and traditions of Japan during that time. "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido" stands out as an exceptional example of landscape art and woodblock prints, preserving the essence of Japan's cultural heritage and serving as a testament to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance.
