解説 |
Utagawa Yoshitora 1863 The scenery of Atsuta Port is illustrated. At the right foreground, Hama no Torii, a big Torii Gate of Atsuta Jingu Shrine with the background of extended Ise Bay is illustrated. Miya was flourished with many visitors of Atsuta Jingu Shrine. The gate of “The 7-ri (7-ri is about 28 km) Ferry” was also located in this town and this place became a distribution base of various goods. The red big ship was called Goza-bune and it was designed for high-rank people. 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. |
