The Famous Teahouse at Mariko

Series; Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido

Hiroshige’s Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido - In 1832, Hiroshige first traveled from his home in Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto along the Tokaido road. The journey was an eye opening and life changing experience for him. As an urban man of Edo he had experienced life mainly in the capital. He immediately returned to Edo after the trip and began his masterwork woodblock series from the sketches he had made on his journey. Hiroshige's Tokaido prints are an opportunity to be transported back in time to see this world as Hiroshige did in the shadow of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Kato Woodblock Print Institute - Originally founded in 1934 by Junzo Kato in Tokyo, Japan, Kato Woodblock Print Institute was a major publisher of works by shin hanga and sosaku hanga artists of the era. The company survived the war and like other remaining publishers, produced some of the high quality post war reprints that are highly sought after by collectors and woodblock print enthusiasts. The red seal in the margin identifies this print as being produced by the Kato Woodblock Print Institute.
