Description :
Wednesday, 26 January 2005 Shanks' Mare Tokaido Series: #1 Nihonbashi Artist: Tamenobu Fujikawa Format: Oban yoko-e: 9.5" x 14" approx 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 scoundrel adventures on the Tokaido highway. Most of the landscape designs bear more than a passing acknowledgment to the designs of Hiroshige for his Great Tokaido series. Here at the start of their journey, the poverty stricken pair are seen having crossed the Nihonbashi, carrying their worldly goods in straw and cloth wrappings. 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 bokashi and gauffrage
