Book Description
Come on the journey from Edo, modern day Tokyo, to Kyoto, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in, when he travelled the Tokaido road to participate in 1832 an important procession in Kyoto. There were 69 post stations along this other, parallel road over the mountains, apart from the start and terminus, in all 70 prints, which are all here in the order from Edo to Kyoto, but one station has two prints, so in total 71 prints in the Nakasendo. These were the most popular print series ever made in Japan. They were even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.

Book Description
Visit Edo, modern day Tokyo, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in this wonderful tourist guide from the 1850s. Experience Edo as the Japanese loved it, a sophisticated city catering to a wealthy elite of daimyo, local rulers that regularly had to spend time away from their lands, in Edo, where the shogun could keep an eye on them. The 100 Famous Views of Edo was one of the popular print series made in Japan, like Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been published earlier in the 1830s and which influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN ES 978-8-411-744-935). But much more important is the influence the 100 Famous Views of Edo had on European impressionists like Van Gogh, Degas, Manet and Monet. Hiroshige impressed with cropped items to create focus and with his horizontal format.

Book Description
Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal is the last known full Tokaido series by Hokusai. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. It is different from much of Hokusai ́s other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here. It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai explores novel ways of designing the print, further developing what he started in the 1804 Horizontal Tokaido. Hokusai experiments with person themes, voids and white space but also do great full landscapes and humorous encounters on the road.

Book Description
Hasui Kawase May 18, 1883 - November 7, 1957 was a Japanese artist that took up ukiyo-e printing as it disappeared as a commercial printing form and instead became an art for its own sake, so to say. In Hokusai and Hiroshige ́s time, first half of the 1800s, ukiyo-e prints were cheap - around the price of a bowl of soup -and filled the market which would later develop in postcards and magazines. Hasui designed traditional prints in a western style, mostly landscapes, often with special lighting effects like evening og night and special weather conditions- he was fond of showing temples and shrines in snow. He worked closely with a single publisher - Shozaburo Watanabe - throughout his life. The Great Kanto earthquake in 1923 destroyed Watanabe ́s workshop, including the finished woodblocks for the yet-undistributed prints and Hasui ́s sketchbooks. He lost 188 sketchbooks in which he had drawn landscapes and other subjects

Book Description
Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) is often mentioned as one of the best examples of Japonism, Western art inspired by Japanese art. Van Gogh was infatuated with a vision of Japanese art. He experienced this mainly from Japanese woodblock prints which became widely available after Commodore Matthew Perry forced Japan to open with the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854 after abt 250 years of seclusion. Van Gogh and his brother Theo dealt in these prints for a while and Van Gogh´s studio was literally plastered with them. Van Gogh vision of Japan was a mythical fantasy, an ideal for the artist, and he even tried to establish an artist´s colony to live out this dream. Japan, on the other hand, and especially the woodblock print artists, were inspired by earlier Dutch engraved prints, which had a profound influence on artists like Katsushika Hokusai from abt 1800. It was from these prints Western perspective entered into Japanese art. In the period from abt 1800 to 1850 Japanese prints evolved with Hokusai´s 36 Views of Mt Fuji and became the inspiration that met painters like van Gogh. In a way, what these Western artists saw, was a Japanese mirror of their own processed artistic tradition.
