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.

The Mie River Near Yokkaichi - Wonderful Hiroshige print from his famous Hoeido Tokaido. The lone outpost at the Mie River on a windy day. One traveler wearing a kimono billowing in the wind, another chasing his hat having blown off his head. Beautiful old print with lovely soft color and excellent detail.
