View of Shichiri-ga-hama Beach of Kamakura, from the series “The Famous Places of the Toukaidou” |
解説 |
Artist: Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III) Production date: 1863 (Bunkyu 3) A woman who is in a travel outfit and wears sedge-woven hat rides on an ox is leisurely moving along the Shichiri-ga-hama Beach. The waves are rough and the white sales of the ships are floating on the sea. At the expression of the shore, the section attached to the wave crash, the delicate printing skill using shiny mica reveals a silvery gleam on the shore. This work 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 these series were known as Joraku Toukaidou. Therefore, samurai or processions is illustrated in every work of the series. Although Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi never actually visited this beach, thus this was illustrated based on artist’s imagination. |
