Book excerpt: “With a goal in mind of providing each of my children and grandchildren a little update on my life travels after the publishing of “60 Odd Years”, I have decided to provide a short synopsis of each year for the next few – to hand off to them when I am older; my further gift to them, of who I really am. This writing may be in cursive form, short notes, or perhaps there may be even a short video to describe the joys of living. I am not sure what the end result will look like, but it will be cool, no matter. I love to tell my story!” - The Writer in Me (Nancy Dupuis)

Download or read book Hiroshige s Journey in the 60 odd Provinces written by Marije Jansen and published by Hotei Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) designed a series of seventy landscapes depicting the provinces of Japan between 1854 and 1856. It was the first in a number of sets from the highly productive years of his later life. The designs comprising "Famous Places in the 60-Odd Provinces (Rokuju yoshu meisho zue) are taken from all corners of Japan, thus representing an enormous innovation in the choice of subject matter. Large sets published before this had depicted the famous routes between Edo and Kyoto, the Tokaido and the Kisokaido, but Hiroshige had never before ventured beyond these well-known themes/ The Japanese countryside was already depicted in graphic art, but mostly in travelers' guidebooks and not as full color prints. With this set, Hiroshige brought the Japanese countryside closer to the urban population. It evidently met with high acclaim: the publisher Koshimuraya Heisuke produced a large number of impressions. In this study, the author Marije Jansen briefly discusses Hiroshige's life and the formal aspects of this series. Jansen takes as her point of departure the set in possession of the German collector Gerhard Pulverer, which is generally acknowledged to be a superb example of a first edition, and compares this series to a number of other sets in public and private collections. The detectable printing variations in each design are carefully analyzed, making this an indispensable tool for collectors.

For a week Dave Barnum watches his despondent friend drink, fish, and gamble, and gradually grows sick of his ill temper. Finally, convinced that John Gannon has gotten past his suicidal tendencies, Barnum lets his guard down. The mistake proves fatal. That night, at Club 80, someone drugs Barnum’s brandy. By the time he makes it home, Gannon is dead. As he inspects his friend’s body, the killer wallops him on the skull and escapes unseen. Barnum’s job was to protect John Gannon.
