解説 |
Utagawa Kunisada(Utagawa Toyokuni Ⅲ) 1833 The background landscape of this picture is based on the Hiroshige’s Hoeidou edition of the Toukaidou series “Fujisawa, Yugyouji Temple”. The Toriido Bridge illustrated at the back of a woman is Daigiri Bridge (Today’s Yugyouji Bridge) and the First Torii Gate of Enoshima Shrine, which used to stand at this place is illustrated by the bridge. In Hiroshige’s work, group of pilgrims heading to Mt. Oyama carry a large wood sword and an omiki-waku (container that carries water or liquor from Mt. Oyama), are illustrated on the bridge, but in Kunisada’s picture they moves to the front of the Torii Gate. The lady illustrated in front fastens obi belt as she departs for a journey and travel kits such as cigarette case, a luggage wrapped by a close and a sedge-woven hat are illustrated by the foot. “Beauties with Landscapes of the Toukaidou Highway” Known with the more familiar title of “Toukaidou with Beauties”, this series illustrates the beauties with the customs of the related regions at the foreground and the sceneries of fifty-three stations of the Toukaidou on the background. This series has a special feature that the background sceneries are based on the “Hoeidou Edition of the Toukaidou Highway” series produced by Utagawa Hiroshige. Although the sceneries illustrated from Miya post station to Kyoto (Although Yokkaichi post station is the only exception) are produced based on Kunisada’s original designs. |
