Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visit Edo, modern day Tokyo, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in this wonderful tourist guide from the 1850s. Experience Edo as the Japanese loved it, a sophisticated city catering to a wealthy elite of daimyo, local rulers that regularly had to spend time away from their lands, in Edo, where the shogun could keep an eye on them.

Book Hiroshige 53 Stations of the Tokaido Vertical

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official title for this work is "Pictures from the Famous Places of the Fifty-three Stations". Hiroshige produced these prints in 1855 more than 20 years after his first horizontal Hoeido series published 1833-34, which is included as thumbnails for comparison. It is instructive to see Hiroshiges use of his now mature experience as he develops the vertical format for the narrative. He does designs as he would do a photograph. He set the standard for landscape photography, without a camera. The Tokaido series was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. Hiroshige returned to this theme again and again, with delightful results. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then.

Book Keisai Eisen A Tokaido Board Game of Courtesans Fifty three Pairings in the Yoshiwara

Download or read book Keisai Eisen A Tokaido Board Game of Courtesans Fifty three Pairings in the Yoshiwara written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Nakasendo together with Hiroshige. The series A Tokaido Board Game of Courtesans, Fifty-three Pairings in the Yoshiwara use the Tokaido 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 same name role with the brothel in question.

Book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical

Download or read book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical is something completely different from his 1801 and 1802 series and from the 1804 horizontal. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji 1832, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. This series shows his development of the themes based on the two first series, 1801 and 1802, and a transition to his 1804 horizontal series, which again is a precursor to his sublime 36 Views of Mt Fuji. As the reader progresses through Hokusai ́s Tokaido series it will become evident how Hokusai develops the concept, develops the format, the themes and then mixes them with true genius. This series is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus only on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed.

Book The Scenic Places of the Tokaido Processional Tokaido

Download or read book The Scenic Places of the Tokaido Processional Tokaido written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scenic Places of the Tokaido (Tokaido Meisho no Uchi) by 17 artists is based on the list of prints on the Kunisada Project website run by Dr Horst Graebner with a total of 162 ukiyo-e prints. It is a fantastic work, an effort presumably directed by the shogun ́s political office to commemorate his attempt to preserve a joint rulership with the emperor over Japan. It differs from the many other Tokaido series by the large number of prints, at least three times as many in a series. If differs by the number of people in the prints - the procession consisted of 3,000 people. It also marks the end of the ukiyo-e Tokaido, where the forced travel of the daimyo - sankin-kotai - had contributed so much to the economic and cultural development along these roads and indeed to the whole print making industry. The shogun abolished sankin-kotai in 1862.

Book Hiroshige   Kunisada Two Brushes Tokaido

Download or read book Hiroshige Kunisada Two Brushes Tokaido written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-09-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cooperative work between Hiroshige and Kunisada (1854 -1855) is probably the most romantic of all the Tokaido editions. Both Hiroshige and Kunisada did their own individual versions with the same type of theme - a combination of landscape and often unrelated portraits based in legend and other motifs. But they did not rise to the level of elegance of the "Two Brush" Tokaido. The figures and the landscape are very well balanced and the colors are fresh and joyful. The "Two Brush" Tokaido is both a tour through the landscape of Japan and a cultural introduction. The reason for the combination of landscape and theater was to circumvent censorship of the popular kabuki theater prints.

Book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal

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 2024-08-01 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 Van Gogh Landscapes written by Cristina Berna and published by Missy´s Clan. This book was released on with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) is often mentioned as one of the best examples of Japonism, Western art inspired by Japanese art. Van Gogh was infatuated with a vision of Japanese art. He experienced this mainly from Japanese woodblock prints which became widely available after Commodore Matthew Perry forced Japan to open with the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854 after abt 250 years of seclusion. Van Gogh and his brother Theo dealt in these prints for a while and Van Gogh´s studio was literally plastered with them. Van Gogh vision of Japan was a mythical fantasy, an ideal for the artist, and he even tried to establish an artist´s colony to live out this dream. Japan, on the other hand, and especially the woodblock print artists, were inspired by earlier Dutch engraved prints, which had a profound influence on artists like Katsushika Hokusai from abt 1800. It was from these prints Western perspective entered into Japanese art. In the period from abt 1800 to 1850 Japanese prints evolved with Hokusai´s 36 Views of Mt Fuji and became the inspiration that met painters like van Gogh. In a way, what these Western artists saw, was a Japanese mirror of their own processed artistic tradition.

Book excerpt: All the way through Hiroshige follows certain design principles of proportion of elements, arranging elements and views by diagonals and parallels and balancing of color elements.

Book Kunisada 53 Stations of the Tokaido

Download or read book Kunisada 53 Stations of the Tokaido written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 53 Stations of the Tokaido by Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 12 January 1865) is both a tour through the landscape of Japan and a cultural introduction. But first of all it is a fashion magazine about beautiful, young and stylish Japanese women in 1838. These young beauties were one of the subjects Kunisada excelled in. Kunisada show beautiful girls from all walks of life, explorers and adventurers, musicians, theater stars, imperial concubines, country girls, business women. They all have beauty and great fashion taste as the common denominator. His landscapes were a means of circumventing censorship especially of theater prints and pin-up prints of pretty ladies, bijin-ga. The work is probably one of the most romantic of all the Tokaido series.
