Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige II Production date: 1865 (Keio 1) Okitsu: Shiohama At the right, the broad landscape of extended Suruga Gulf is illustrated. As the title “Shio-hama (salt beach)” suggests, people are refining salt at the cabins on the beach and the smoke are coming out from the cabins. The horse in front is about to deliver the firewood for the salt making cabins. The artist seal of this series is “Ryushou-ga (Picture by Ryushou)” and Ryushou is the name of Utagawa Hiroshige II. After Hiroshige I died in 1859, his pupil Shigenobu succeeded Hiroshige’s name and became Hiroshige II. Later, he succeeded the Hirosige I’s style in his work but by 1865, he changed artist name as Ryushou. “Fifty-three Stations of Toukaidou” was published in the year he changed his name and the series consisted of 56 works. |
