I have an early facsimile of the Tokaido Road series purchased in Japan in the 1920s that is intact in the original fan fold binding that shows the prints in their proper sequence. I always wondered if a museum or collector would value the book as it shows how the series was first presented to the buyer of that series.
The rain expressed only by the black line is very wonderful. However, the carver would have been difficult. Also, the structure of the bridge is a truss structure that is too strong compared to the load of passersby. It may have been strengthened at that time in preparation for the earthquake.
well done...very informative.
Thoroughly enjoyed your lecture. Well done!

I'm learning new things through this video. I'm a big fan of Hiroshige's artwork.
Wow. Bravo Well said!
