Krátky popis
The Kisokaido route through Japan was ordained in the early 1600s
by the country’s then-ruler Tokugawa Ieyasu, who decreed that
staging posts be installed along the length of the arduous passage
between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Inns, shops, and
restaurants were established to provide sustenance and lodging to
weary travelers. In 1835, renowned woodblock print artist Keisai
Eisen was commissioned to create a series of works to chart the
Kisokaido journey.After producing 24 prints, Eisen was replaced by
Utagawa Hiroshige, who completed the series of 70 prints in 1838.
Both Eisen and Hiroshige were master print practitioners. In The
Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, we find the artists’
distinct styles as much as their shared expertise.From the busy
starting post of Nihonbashi to the castle town of Iwamurata, Eisen
opts for a more muted palette but excels in figuration,
particularly of glamorous women, and relishes snapshots of activity
along the route, from shoeing a horse to winnowing rice. Hiroshige
demonstrates his mastery of landscape with grandiose and evocative
scenes, whether it’s the peaceful banks of the Ota River, the
forbidding Wada Pass, or a moonlit ascent between Yawata and
Mochizuki. Taken as a whole, The Sixty-Nine Stations collection
represents not only a masterpiece of woodblock practice, including
bold compositions and an experimental use of color, but also a
charming tapestry of 19th-century Japan, long before the specter of
industrialization.This TASCHEN edition revives the series with due
scale and splendor. Sourced from the only-known set of a
near-complete run of the first edition of the series, this
legendary publication is reproduced in the finest quality, bound in
the Japanese tradition and with uncut paper. A perfect companion
piece to TASCHEN’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, it is at once a
visual delight and a major artifact from the bygone era of Imperial
Japan.
