解説 |
Utagawa Hiroshige 1855 In a white snowscape, the blue of river and the travelers are vividly depicted. The travelers keep off the cold by wearing straw hats and coats and walk with a hunchbacked posture. The mountains depicte in the background are also covered with snow. From the left, Mt. Fuji, Mt. Ashitaka, and the low mountain range, Mt. Ashitaka are depicted. 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. |
