It is no surprise that many would associate “Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido” with Utagawa
Hiroshige. However, many are most likely not aware that Ukiyo-e based on the Tokaido were not
only painted by Hiroshige, and that he had also created many different types of Tokaido series
pieces. In fact, Hiroshige depicted more than 20 “Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido” series pieces
during his lifetime. In addition to 10 pieces from his collection, the museum has 2 collaboration
pieces that he created with other Eshi (painter).
This exhibition will feature “Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido” that are slightly unique within thecollection. Enjoy the unique qualities of each Tokaido piece by Hiroshige.
