Title
Shinmachi
Bridge
at
Hodogaya
Station
1833
Description
From the
Fifty-three
Stations
of the
first
Tokaido
series
from the
Hoeido
Tokaido
edition
.
One
of the
most
well-known
19th
century
ukiyo-e
artists
,
famous
for his
landscape
views
,
particularly
his
images
of the
Tokaido
. This
image
was
originally
a
part
of
architect
Frank
Lloyd
Wright’s
collection
of
Japanese
woodblock
prints
.
It
along
with
36
others
came
to the
Wriston
from a
benefactor
who
received
them from
Wright
in
lieu
of a
payment
for
printing
services
.
Many
of the
prints
have
Wright’s
handwritten
notations
in the
margins
.
Though
many
of the
Wright
works
in
our
collection
are of
lesser
quality
, the
images
serve
as an
example
of the
interest
in
Asian
art
that
so
informed
Wright’s
architecture
. As the
busiest
highway
in the
18th
and
early
19th
centuries
, the
Tokaido
offered
numerous
chances
to
experience
a
variety
of
social
classes
and
day-to-day
activities
.
Numerous
images
of this
highway
were
created
during
the
Edo
period
,
some
in
singular
views
and
others
in
series
, the
most
famous
of
which
are
Hiroshige’s
numerous
editions
. The
images
depicted
the
commercial
activity
along
the
road
and
famous
views
seen
on the
journey
.
Hiroshige
, in
particular
, also
chose
many
of the
views
based
on
varying
times
of
year
and the
weather
conditions
that
offered
an
ever-changing
impression
of the
landscape
.
Greatly
influenced
by his
teacher
Utagawa
Toyoharu
,
Hiroshige
often
employed
perspective
views
rather
than the
more
traditional
stacked
and
flattened
views
of the
landscape
found
in the
Kano
school
of
painting
. This
slightly
more
western
view
helps
to
explain
his
popularity
among
19th
century
artists
in
Europe
. This was
station
number
four
.
