Le Tokaido De Hiroshige

"This top-quality volume contains the complete 55 sheet set of Hiroshige's greatest masterwork, which includes depictions of the departure from Edo (Tokyo), the 53 stations, and the arrival in Kyoto. In his unequaled work, Hiroshige documents the two week, two hundred mile long journey, on foot, of a mixed group of travelers: samurai, merchants, and servants. Together, they travel the historic main road across wild mountains and alongside stormy seas from Edo, a thriving center of commerce, to the beautiful imperial capital, Kyoto. This edition brings to life a unique Japanese masterpiece of world significance."Bouquillard, Jocelyn is the author of 'Le Tokaido De Hiroshige', published 2004 under ISBN 9782914239691 and ISBN 2914239696.
