Description :
Wednesday, 26 January 2005 Shanks' Mare Tokaido Series: #3 Kawasaki Artist: Tamenobu Fujikawa Format: Oban yoko-e: 9.5" x 14" Subject: The two heroes of 'Shanks' Mare Tokaido' (Tokaido Hizakurige) by Jippensha Ikku, here depicted by Tamenobu, Yajirobe and Kitahachi. The author Ikku was a popular comic writer of the Tokugawa period (19th century) and this was the first 'translation' of the two scoundrels' adventures on the Tokaido highway into Ukiyo-e. Most of the landscape designs bear more than a passing acknowledgment to the designs of Hiroshige for his Great Tokaido series. Here they are on the ferry at Kawasaki 2.5 ri from Shinagawa, with a trained monkey scratching the face of Kitahachi who had covered the creature's head as a joke. On their arrival the pair satisfied their appetites and thirst in the local inn. Date: October 1918 Condition: As issued, full size and retaining original Japanese album backing paper. Series number and title stamped by hand in top margin. Paper very slightly toned. Minor marks and flaws. Generally very good state of preservation. Colour: Fine Impression: Fine with gauffrage
