'Fuchu' From: 'The Fifty-three Parallels for the Tokaido Road' - Hiroshige I Utagawa (1797-1858) - Japan - Edo Period (1600-1868)

Selected by Giovanni Bottero

Artist: Hiroshige I Utagawa (1797-1858) Title: Fuchu Series: The Fifty-three Parallels for the Tokaido Road Publisher: Ibaya Kuhei Date: 1844-1845 Size: 25.1 x 37.1 cm Provenance: BW Robinson Collection Condition: Light wear and soiling, light creases on the left. The series 'Fifty-three Parallels for the Tokaido Road' became famous for its striking designs and stories illustrated, but also because of the collaboration between publishers and three important artists of the day. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798 - 1861) produced thirty-one prints for the series, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858) nineteen and Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 1864) the remaining eight, adding up to more than the 'fifty-three' prints implied in the title. Each print has a cartouche at the top with explanatory text on the stories drawn from folklore and history associated with the post-stations of Tokaido.
