2 Woodblock prints - Paper - Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), Japan - Mid 20th century
Station Akasaka, „Inn with Serving Maids“ (ryosha shōfu no zu, 旅舎招婦ノ図; variant a; publisher seal Hoeidō (保永堂)
& 'Ishiyakushi' - "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido no.44
Two good impressions on thin paper. A later printing.
In 1832, it is said that Hiroshige was appointed by Bakufu, the feudal government of Japan, to accompany an official procession from Edo to Kyoto along the Tokaido road. The artist made many sketches during this journey, resulting in the production of his most acclaimed series ‘Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road’, although some of the designs are based on older available images. To be noted that it was rare for an artist (and regular people in general) to be able to travel and sketch landscapes from life during the Edo period, which makes some scholars believe that Hiroshige depicted most scenes entirely from his imagination.
Condition is good. Some surface dust.
