解説 |
Utagawa Hiroshige 1855 The scenery of the east side of Lake Hamana, near the Maisaka Ferry is depicted. The Piles depicted in the foreground are considered as wave breakers. The slightly elevated mountain, depicted in the middle is a virtual mountain, which is created by Hiroshige (or it was depicted by mistake). The series, “Views of Famous Places of Fifty-three Stations of the Toukaidou” was produced in 1855, when Hiroshige was 59 years old, and this is his last Toukaidou series. This series is also called “The Toukaidou in Vertical Pictures” since it is produced as the series of vertical pictures. It is considered the vertical composition is not suitable for landscape pictures since it is difficult to find the good balance in the space. However Hiroshige, the master of landscape pictures used this composition in a distinctive way, created the masterpiece series. |
