FIRST EDITION . *** **** *** . . AN EXCELLENT MONOGRAPH ON THE GREAT MASTER . . . COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINT, BOOK & SERIES ARTIST . . . UTAGAWA [ANDO] HIROSHIGE I . * ARTIST HIROSHIGE [1797-1858] . Hiroshige was a Japanese Ukiyo-e [color woodblock prints of the "Floating World"] artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido & other Highway Series and for his vertical format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. He also produced a large number of series, single prints, E-hon and a wide variety of color woodblock printed examples. . He was a master of composition and design. . The subjects of his work were atypical of the Ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the Yoshiwara [prostitution districts], but hid he had some examples of women of all varieties depicted in the Edo period [1603-1868]. . The popular series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Hokusai was a strong influence on Hiroshige's choice of subject, though Hiroshige's approach was more poetic and ambient than Hokusai's bolder, more formal prints. Subtle use of color was essential in Hiroshige's prints, often printed with multiple impressions in the same area and with extensive use of "Bokashi" [color gradation], both of which were rather labor-intensive techniques. . This excellent work is devoted strictly to Hiroshige's production, including various Highway Series, guide series, and all genres reflecting Edo life, times, culture, fashion, famous female beauties: Geisha & prostitutes, theater actors, flora, fauna, E-hon [woodblock-illustrated books] and the whole gambit of his superb artistic woodblock examples. . *** ILLUSTRATIONS: The book has a color woodblock printed frontispiece by the author. A single "Red Fuji" color plate, 37 black & white colographic reproductions. . *** A FAMOUS PERSON & AUTHOR: KOJIMA Usui [1873-1948]: . Kojima was an eminent Japanese who authored over 20 books. He amassed a superb collection of over 900 Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and was an authority on Hiroshige and other Ukiyo-e artists. . He established Japan's first mountaineering and alpine society in 1905, appropriately named "The Japanese Alpine Club" [JAC]. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *** CONDITION: This work is bound in the original publisher's color woodblock-printed paper covered boards.
