Hardcover. Condition: New. Ikeda, Eisen; Utagawa, Hiroshige (illustrator). Reproduced from the finest surviving edition of the original manuscript, this book offers an unforgettable portrait of daily life in 19th century Japan. Each plate teems with unique characters, from beggars and brawling men to boaters and finely clothed women; and the artists' gentle humor imbues them all with remarkable, human vitality. Behind the travelers loom castles, cities, powerful waterfalls and other sites familiar to lovers of Japanese history. Readers will travel from station to station through changing seasons, rural roads and city streets, on a journey that explores every stratum of a diverse society. Commentary by art scholar and curator Sebastian Izzard, Ph.D. accompanies each image, offering new insights into the artists' processes, and into the survival of their work. Many of the wood blocks used in printing the original Sixty Nine Stations changed radically after the early editions, and Izzard addresses the protean nature of each image. His commentary details the manuscript's survival during the dramatic social shifts and economic hardship of Hiroshige and Eisen's time, urging an appreciation for its evolution over the years. 'The Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaido' tells the story of a landmark, immortal artists, and an enduring masterpiece. 71 color images.

Facsimile Edition of the finest surviving manuscript, with accompanying text in English. One of the greatest books on Japanese art ever published in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by George Braziller: Oversize-volume format. Orange cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Art by Hiroshige and Eisen. Text by Sebastian Izzard. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Hiroshige's and Eisen's "The Sixty-Nine Stations of The Kisokaido". One of the greatest sequences in the ukiyo-e tradition: A series of prints on the Kisokaido, the highway connecting Edo and Kyoto, and its sixty-nine post stations, where travellers could admire the scenery, eat, shop, stay overnight, and be entertained. They capture the look and spirit of each station, creating a "tour de force of artistic vision and printmaking craftsmanship" (Sebastian Izzard). Hiroshige is now regarded as one of the two greatest wood-block printmakers (the other being Hokusai, his predecessor). Ukiyo-e, which literally means "pictures of the floating world", was the art of the common people. It was not folk or primitive art nor was it royal court art, either. Like the photograph today, it could be infinitely reproduced as public demand dictated, and typically presented Japanese life and rituals, scenery and the four seasons, iconic portraits, and breathtaking natural landscapes. Perhaps the best term for it is "artisanal", as it depended on the mastery of one's craft (rather than "concept" or "vision"). Very little is known about ukiyo-e precisely because it was not considered serious art, and most of the work was therefore not preserved or archived. That it flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries is pretty much what we know. Westerners were awed, moved, and for once, humbled by what they saw: Great art of the most exquisite and delicate kind, dazzling virtuosity melded to a master craftsman's innate apprehension of The Beautiful. Like all true art, it will transport you to another temporal reality, where you will wish you could stay forever. An absolute "must-have" title for Hiroshige, Eisen, and art book collectors. This title is an art book classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 71 color plates. Two of the greatest artists of all time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HIROSHIGE TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0807615935. no.

Kohon (18 x 12 cm). Blockbuchbindung mit schmucklosen Deckeln (stark knickspurig und berieben, aber Bindung völlig intakt). 29 Bll., mit 26 teils doppelblattgroßen - bis auf eine auch farbigen - Holzschnittillustrationen. Ein Holzschnitt als Frontispiz auf vorderem Innendeckel montiert (vermutlich so erschienen). Teils auf sehr dünnem und fragilem Papier gedruckt. Das Innenleben trotz offensichtlich häufigerer Konsultation des Büchleins bis auf stellenweise deutlichere Fingerflecken in den unteren, äußeren Ecken sehr gut erhalten. Shagan: Encyclopedy of Japanese Erotic Art, I, p. 151 & p. 214. - Seltenes Werk der Shunga-Literatur von dem zu Lebzeiten weitgehend verkannten und mittellos verstorbenem Eisen, der noch unter weiteren Namen publizierte. Shunga, oder zu deutsch Kopfkissenbücher (nach dem Ort, an dem man sie aufzubewahren pflegte), widmeten sich den zahlreichen Aspekten des Geschlechtslebens und sind wegen ihrer Eigenschaft als Ratgeber- bzw. Gebrauchsliteratur in der Regel nicht von druckfrischer Erhaltung. Vorliegendes Werk, das in der wohl umfangreichsten Shunga-Sammlung in Honolulu (Richard Lane Collection) offenbar nicht vorhanden ist, widmet sich insbesondere auch lesbischen Sexualpraktiken sowie - anschaulich illustriert dem Gebrauch von allerhand Hilfsmitteln. Es sei zwar bemerkt, daß homoerotische Praktiken in der japanischen Kulturgeschichte weit weniger von Tabuisierung betroffen waren, als dies in den westlichen Kulturen der Moderne der Fall war und ist. Gleichwohl verhinderten auch in der japanischen Kultur die menschlichen Grundbedürfnisse nach Schutz der Intimität einerseits sowie gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen darüber, was dem Erhalt der öffentlichen Ordnung zuträglich ist andererseits, daß derartige Bücher frei zirkulierten. Sie gehörten auch in Japan zu den ,verbotenen Schätzen'.
