The concept of evanescent, transient beauty of the immediate present expressed in images of landscape, in song, and in hedonistic ‘happy hour’ revelry, captivated Japanese artists in Japan’s early modern Edo or Tokugawa Period (1603-1868). Some other Ukiyo-E artists include: Moronubu (1618—1694), Utamaro (1753--1806), Hokusai (1760--1849), and Kuniyoshi’s contemporary, Hiroshige (1797—1858), whose work will be found in the Masterworks of Ukiyo-E series of color-illustrated, paperbound books published at Tokyo and Palo Alto, California, during 1968 and 1969, by Kodansha International.
The Kisokaido, as Thompson explains in her elegant and informative introduction, was the inland road between Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, and Edo (today’s Tokyo), headquarters of the Tokugawa shoguns (generals), on which travelers found sixty-nine stations, or official rest stops. The coastal route between the two major cities of Japan was the Tokaido, whose fifty-three stations were illustrated by Hiroshige, and its 300-plus miles walked in the 1920s by Muneshige Narazaki, author of Hiroshige: The 53 Stations of the Tokaido (Palo Alto: Kodansha, 1969)
This clothbound volume includes seventy-two colored prints (one of each of the 69 stations, plus one for each terminus point (Kyoto and Edo) and one of the original publication’s title page) with explanatory narrative about each print on facing pages. It includes also an introduction, bibliography, and index.… (mere)
