Early Edo Woodblocks - Handsome design from a group of early Edo era woodblocks by 18th and 19th century master artists such as Hokusai, Eizan, Eisen, Toyokuni I, and others. This terrific selection of illustrations includes beauties, kabuki portraits, and scenes from everyday life, depicting traditional tales and novels, as well as the new "floating world," in wonderful detail. This is a terrific offering of classic, early designs, and a wonderful opportunity to add a work by a renowned ukiyo-e artist to any collection.

Hokusai's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, circa 1802 - Terrific image from an early Tokaido series by Hokusai dating around 1802. These lovely designs emphasize figures rather than scenery, focusing on the travelers, townspeople, merchants, and laborers encountered along this famed road. Carefully detailed and brightly colored, these charming scenes beautifully capture life along the Tokaido in the Edo era. Each image is framed by pink clouds along the top and bottom edges. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has many images from this series in its collection.
