Hiroshige Satta Pass Framed Yui - Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido
Bought three Japanese wood block prints the other day for 25 cents. I know . Right twenty five cents…. Did an hours worth of research and landed with success upon it being Hiroshige Satta Pass Framed Yui - Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido. My copy could potentially be an earlier copy as it is without the red censor stamp nor does it have the commentary. The only other copy i found without commentary is held by an australian museum of art.
There are many many versions of Hiroshige’s masterpiece work. Each time its slightly different. Look at the wide variety of color schemes. Variations on a theme.
Here is what the pass look like in modern days.
Thanks for checking out the post.
