Описание:
The Jinbutso Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, Gojūsan tsugi, 五十三次 is one of the most original of Hiroshige's huge production.
It is a hot fantasy full of secret clues.
The complete name of the series in Japanese is Tokaido Goju-san Tsugi Jinbutsu In English it is usually called Figure Tōkaidō or Jinbutsu or Jimbutsu (Figure) Tōkaidō because all the designs show people not just as tiny decorations but as important elements in the foreground of the design, like as if Hiroshige had already invented the zoom lens. Hiroshige's designs would have a huge impact on the later landscape and portrait photography.
The "people" are mostly beautiful women and the audience for this series is men dreaming of women they could in theory meet when travelling in the "floating world", ukiyo-e, of the Tōkaidō road seeking adventure and pleasure.
Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese: 歌川 広重), also called Andō Hiroshige (in Japanese: 安藤 広重;) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. He was born 1797 and died 12 October 1858.
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica. The term ukiyo-e (浮世絵) translates as "picture s] of the floating world".
Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, which is the subject of this book, and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.

Описание:
The beauty of art is necessary for happiness.
In everyday life the arts give that extra dimension to life that makes it a great adventure.
The art and design in buildings, city planning, gardens and parks, roads, bridges - everything that we use daily contributes to a happy and fulfilling life.
Ugly buildings, sloppy design, poor quality workmanship, littering and defacing contributes to a miserable life.
Why would you want a miserable life? Why would you want to impose a miserable life on others?
Hokusai was not only a truly great artist.
He also sent a message to common people, who could afford to buy his low cost prints.
He conveyed the beauty of majesty, the mount Fujijama, in life.
He conveyed the beauty of scenery - he said to people - look around you and see and enjoy the beauty of the scenery.
He conveyed the beauty of a good human life - the craftmanship in making the timber, building the boat, fishing, growing tea, enjoying tea with the scenery.
The 36 Views of Mt Fuji are religious prints. But different from the typical Christian religious motif the humans are not shown focused on the diety all the time, even if Mt Fuji is shown to have a pervading influence on their lives.
The admiration and worship of Mt Fuji is often shown as incidental - a single traveler of the group casting a glance at the majestic mountain while the others are busy with the many other things to do. In other words a very realistic rendition on how the divine is taking part in everyday life. Katsushika Hokusai (c. October 31, 1760 - May 10, 1849) was a Japanese artist, painter and printmaker in Edo (Tokyo) period 1760-1849.
Hokusai established landscape as a new print genre in Japan.
At a young age, Hokusai was adopted by an uncle who held the prestigious position of mirror polisher in the household of the shogun, the commander-in-chief of feudal Japan. It was assumed that the young Hokusai would succeed him in the family business, and he likely received an excellent education in preparation for a job that would place him in direct contact with the upper class. In 19th-century Japan, learning to write also meant learning to draw, since the skills and materials required for either activity were almost identical.
When Hokusai's formal education began at age six, he displayed an early artistic talent that would lead him down a new path. He began to separate himself from his uncle's trade in his early teens-perhaps because of a personal argument, or perhaps because he believed polishable metal mirrors would soon be replaced by the silvered glass mirrors being imported by the Dutch-and worked first as a clerk at a lending library and then later as a woodblock carver. At age 19, Hokusai joined the studio of ukiyo-e artist Katsukawa Shunshō and embarked on what would become a seven-decade-long career in art.
The Tōkaidō meisho zue (1797) on the 53 stations of the Tōkaidō Road is one of the most important Japanese illustrated woodblock printed books.
It is a forerunner for the many Tōkaidō series of colored prints of the ukiyp-e genre like the ones by Hokusai and Hiroshige a.o.
The intention of publishing this is to give lovers of Japanese prints some background material. It may also be used as a coloring book although there is a lot of text.
The Meisho zue printed books' illustrations are originally in black and white and are therefore perfect for coloring exercise and also for the study of landscape design.
The original size was hanshibon, c. 26 x 18.5 cms / 10.25in X 7in.
This volume is vol 4 of six, which were each enveloped in a rice colored folder, Chinese style, and the pages stiched together. The authors hope to be able to publish the rest in the series as well as some other printed books series.
For the reader wishing more information the authors refer to their book Hokusai 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which is available in pocket version, hard cover and large format.
The meisho zue (名 所 図 会?, literally "illustrated books of famous views") are illustrated books describing famous places (the meisho) of Japan during the second half of the Edo period, late 18th and first half of the nineteenth century. The Edo period itself is usually given as c. 1600 to 1868. The places are described there in the text through their history, the related legends, the sites to visit, as well as by the illustration which offers a faithful overview of the topology. These illustrated books are characterized by the importance of image and the desire for simplicity which make them objects intended for the greatest number of people.
The black and white meisho zue are fascinating in themselves, but they were also direct sources for the ukiyo-e artists Hokusai and Hiroshige, who had not visited all the sites they made colored prints about.
Meisho originally meant "a place with poetical association" or "a place famed in poetry". The characters used to write the word also read nadokoro. This refers to topics accepted in waka.
In the Muromachi Period (1392 - 1573) meisho started to change meaning. Non traditional waka subjects became meisho - historical spots, flourishing places, famed or notorious places, and the word came to mean "places which attract mass interest".
By mid Edo period the original meaning was completely lost. Kunisada's Edo meisho zue, .
Meisho had been reserved for the elite who could read classical Chinese and write poems. Now the "uneducated" classes grew an interest in meisho, and it passed into the increasingly prosperous lower classes which also acquired a high degree of literacy, up to 80 pct with city dwelling groups and farmers, see Yoshitaki, Kunikazu and Nansuitei Yoshiyuki 100 Views of Osaka, ISBN 9781649454539 and Hiroshige Famous Places of Naniwa (Osaka) ISBN 9781649454515.

Описание: Hokusai`s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1805-1806 is very different from many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus on the landscape and the markers but on the humor and the humans.
