In the mid nineteenth century the Japanese artists, Eisen and Hiroshoke were commissioned to produce a series of prints celebrating the staging posts of the famous Kisokdai. The Sixty-Nine Stations collection represents not only a masterpiece of woodblock practice, including bold compositions and an experimental use of colour, but also a charming tapestry of 19th-century Japan. This Taschen edition is sourced from the only-known almost complete first edition run of the prints, reporduced in exceptional quality and bound in the Japanese tradition. This is a heavy book and will cost more to ship internationally. Please contact us for a precise quote for your part of the world.
