"Presented alongside Hiroshige's prints, with descriptions and
context, Delord's work offers an absorbing contemplation of Japan's
past and present via one legendary travel route, and shows how
thoroughly upended our surroundings have been in what was, in wider
perspective, only a short time." -- The New York Times Journey
along the famed Tokaido Road--an ancient thoroughfare with a modern
twist. The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido is the best-known
work of the great 19th century Japanese woodblock artist Utagawa
Hiroshige. The series of 53 masterful woodblock prints depicts
stops along the ancient Tokaido Road--which, from the eleventh to
the nineteenth century, was the main thoroughfare between Tokyo and
Kyoto. Though the road itself is now submerged under Japan's
twenty-first-century urban landscape, French artist Philippe Delord
set out to see if he could find the original locations, with just a
moped, sketchbook, watercolors and a book of Hiroshige's prints.
Hiroshige's Japan allows readers to make the journey alongside
Delord, venturing from Tokyo and Mount Fuji to mountain passes and
rugged coastlines. Inside are all 53 original scenery prints made
by Hiroshige, alongside their modern-day equivalent by Delord. A
lively commentary about his experiences as he tries to locate each
of the 53 scenes (without speaking Japanese!) offers readers an
insightful, and often humorous, look into both modern and
historical Japan. Part travelogue, part work of art, this book is
sure to delight armchair travelers, history buffs, art enthusiasts
and Japanophiles alike!
