Nango, de la série Lieux célèbres du Toukaidou |
解説 |
Kawanabe Kyousai 1863 Cette estampe tirée de la série « Jōraku Toukaidou » représente le lac Nango. Nango était situé près de la côte, au sud de la ville actuelle de Chigasaki, et au nord de cette région se trouvait une « Tateba » (aire de repos entre les stations de poste). Nango était célèbre pour ses pins le long de la route du Toukaidou mais aussi pour son paysage pittoresque, avec notamment sa vue « Hidari-Fuji (litt. vue sur le mont Fuji à gauche) ». This series was published with the event of the Fourteenth Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi’s procession from Tokyo to Kyoto (Shogun’s official visit to Emperor) that took place in 1863 (Bunkyu 3) and it is known as “Gojouraku Toukaidou (Samurai’s procession along the Toukaidou Highway)”. Iemochi’s visit was an unusual event since last time Tokugawa Shogun visited Emperor was 229 years ago when the Third Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu visited Emperor. Therefore this event got a huge attention from the people of Edo. This series was very popular that 162 works were produced within this series. Since 16 artists from Utagawa School were involved for the production, it is considered that the publisher wanted to produce many works within a short period of time. |
