About the Print
Around 1845, the three leading designers of the Utagawa school, Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi and Kunisada, worked together on Fifty-three Pairings for the Tōkaidō Road. Instead of landscapes, each station of the great highway is paired with a legend, a historical episode or a theatrical scene connected to the place. B. W. Robinson counted about 58 sheets in the series: 31 by Kuniyoshi, 19 by Hiroshige, and only 8 by Kunisada. This makes Kunisada’s designs the scarcest part of the set. This sheet is one of them and represents Fukuroi, the 28th print of the series.
The text in the inset tells the history of Sakura-ga-ike, the “Cherry Tree Pond” in Tōtōmi province (today’s Omaezaki, Shizuoka). According to local tradition, the Tendai monk Kōen Ajari entered the pond in 1169. Kōen was a priest of Mount Hiei and the teacher of Hōnen, the founder of Pure Land Buddhism. Convinced that only the future Buddha Maitreya could save humanity, Kōen took the form of a long-lived serpent-dragon so that he could wait in the water for Maitreya’s coming. His pupil Hōnen later honoured him at the nearby temple Ōshōkyō-in. The legend is counted among the “Seven Wonders of Enshū”, and it is still commemorated at the pond today. Robinson catalogues the design as “Hōnen Shōnin and an apparition”.
