Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kommen Sie mit auf die Reise von Edo, dem heutigen Tokio, nach Kyoto, wie sie Utagawa Hiroshige erlebte, als er 1832 die Tokaido Straße bereiste, um an einer wichtigen Prozession in Kyoto teilzunehmen. Entlang dieser anderen, parallelen Straße über die Berge, Nakasendo oder auch as Kisikaido bekannt, gab es, abgesehen vom Start und Endpunkt, 69 Poststationen in insgesamt 70 Drucken, die hier alle in der Reihenfolge von Edo nach Kyoto liegen, aber eine Station hat zwei versciedene Drucke, also insgesamt 71 Drucke im Nakasendo Serie. Diese Reiseziel Serien waren die beliebtesten Druckserien, die jemals in Japan hergestellt wurden. Sie waren sogar noch beliebter als Hokusais Serie Sechsunddreißig Ansichten des Berges Fuji, die kürzlich veröffentlicht worden war und Hiroshige und Eisen enorm beeinflusst hatte. Heute ist es möglich, auf derselben Straße zu fahren, und einige Dörfer sehen noch immer ganz so aus wie damals. Die Poststationen wurden zwischen 1601 und 1624 erbaut.

Book excerpt: Come on the journey from Edo, modern day Tokyo, to Kyoto, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in, when he travelled the Tokaido road to participate in 1832 an important procession in Kyoto. There were 69 post stations along this other, parallel road over the mountains, apart from the start and terminus, in all 70 prints, which are all here in the order from Edo to Kyoto, but one station has two prints, so in total 71 prints in the Nakasendo. These were the most popular print series ever made in Japan. They were even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.

Download or read book Hiroshige Famous Places of Naniwa Osaka written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the 10 Famous Views Of Naniwa (Osaka) by Hiroshige published in 1834. They are unusual in that they show markets with merchants negotiating. The 8 Views is a Chinese artistic and literary theme developed already in the 10th century and then transposed into Japanese culture, where it developed its own independent expression. Print artist Utagawa Hiroshige as many other Japanese artists took up the issue of 8 Views of Omi and again as other Japanese artists he expanded the theme into 8 Views of Kanazawa, 8 Views of Edo Environs and other locations. To give some background there are many other prints included especially about rice but also fishing and transportation, and cultural activities afforded by the wealth accumulated by the merchants. It is possible to travel to see the same sites today.
Download or read book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal is the last known full Tokaido series by Hokusai. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. It is different from much of Hokusai ́s other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here. It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai explores novel ways of designing the print, further developing what he started in the 1804 Horizontal Tokaido. Hokusai experiments with person themes, voids and white space but also do great full landscapes and humorous encounters on the road.
Download or read book Keisai Eisen A T kaid Board Game of Courtesans written by Cristina Berna and published by Missy´s Clan. This book was released on with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Keisai Eisen (1790 -1848) is especially known for his bijin-ga, pretty women, and landscapes. He is well known for his participation in the series 69 stations of the Nakasendō together with Hiroshige. The series A Tōkaidō Board Game of Courtesans, Fifty-three Pairings in the Yoshiwara use the Tōkaidō with landscape inserts as an excuse for showing courtesans and geisha, bijin-ga, to skirt the censorship. It was published 1821-1823. His bijin-ga are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818–1830). Most of them have impressive hairdo with many ornamental hairpins and combs. Their dress is extravagant with beautiful patterns and sublime embroideries. Their faces are elongated squares with long noses and small pouted painted mouths. Courtesans were desirable for their rich and splendid attire, not so much for their beauty and their names were actually like trademarks for a series of girls performing the name role with the brothel in question.

Download or read book Japanese Inn written by Oliver Statler and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beguiling story of the Minaguchi-ya, an ancient inn on the Tokaido Road, founded on the eve of the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. Travellers and guests flow into and past the inn — warriors on the march, lovers fleeing to a new life, pilgrims on their merry expeditions, great men going to and from the capital. The story of the Minaguchi-ya is a social history of Japan through 400 years, a ringside seat to some of the most stirring events of a stirring period. ‘Statler has created a strangely beautiful book that succeeds in conveying intact not only a great deal of its history but the mood of that land. The result is sheer delight. Japanese Inn is the work of a master craftsman; it is so well conceived that the narrative moves from past to present in the same paragraph without the slightest confusion to the reader; it is so well written that only in retrospect is one aware of its remarkable flawless style. Through the author’s particular magic, the stories unfold as one narrative, as beautifully and memorably as the unrolling of a long Japanese scroll.’—CURT GENTRY ‘The reader learns much of Japan’s past — and, as is inevitable in a study of that country, of present-day Japanese as well. Mr Statler’s prose succeeds in evoking the pageantry of the past in the brilliant color of the kabuki stage. Nothing seems to have been overlooked by the author. Mr Statler’s book is Japanese history made easy, and grand entertainment.’— NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ‘Much of it is told in fictional form. Some of the episodes have come out of family annals and memories, some from the records of the temple; some are imagined; but all could have happened ... Mr Statler has told the story vividly and with sympathy. It moves. It has the authentic feel of Japan.’—INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE

Download or read book Tokyo written by Hidenobu Jinnai and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tokyo: destroyed by the earthquake of 1923 and again by the firebombing of World War II. Does anything remain of the old city? The internationally known Japanese architectural historian Jinnai Hidenobu set out on foot to rediscover the city of Tokyo. Armed with old maps, he wandered through back alleys and lanes, trying to experience the city's space as it had been lived by earlier residents. He found that, despite an almost completely new cityscape, present-day inhabitants divide Tokyo's space in much the same way that their ancestors did two hundred years before. Jinnai's holistic perspective is enhanced by his detailing of how natural, topographical features were incorporated into the layout of the city. A variety of visual documents (maps from the Tokugawa and Meiji periods, building floorplans, woodblock prints, photographs) supplement his observations. While an important work for architects and historians, this unusual book will also attract armchair travelers and anyone interested in the symbolic uses of space. (A translation of Tokyo no kûkan jinruigaku.)
Download or read book Sacred Mathematics written by Fukagawa Hidetoshi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries Japan was totally isolated from the West by imperial decree. During that time, a unique brand of homegrown mathematics flourished, one that was completely uninfluenced by developments in Western mathematics. People from all walks of life--samurai, farmers, and merchants--inscribed a wide variety of geometry problems on wooden tablets called sangaku and hung them in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines throughout Japan. Sacred Mathematics is the first book published in the West to fully examine this tantalizing--and incredibly beautiful--mathematical tradition. Fukagawa Hidetoshi and Tony Rothman present for the first time in English excerpts from the travel diary of a nineteenth-century Japanese mathematician, Yamaguchi Kanzan, who journeyed on foot throughout Japan to collect temple geometry problems. The authors set this fascinating travel narrative--and almost everything else that is known about temple geometry--within the broader cultural and historical context of the period. They explain the sacred and devotional aspects of sangaku, and reveal how Japanese folk mathematicians discovered many well-known theorems independently of mathematicians in the West--and in some cases much earlier. The book is generously illustrated with photographs of the tablets and stunning artwork of the period. Then there are the geometry problems themselves, nearly two hundred of them, fully illustrated and ranging from the utterly simple to the virtually impossible. Solutions for most are provided. A unique book in every respect, Sacred Mathematics demonstrates how mathematical thinking can vary by culture yet transcend cultural and geographic boundaries.
