Hiroshige Utagawa et al.
The year 2024 marks the 400th anniversary of the completion of Shono-juku, the last post station of the Fifty-Three Stations of Tokaido, and the 100th running of the Hakone Ekiden relay race. To commemorate this occasion, an exhibition focusing on Utagawa Hiroshige's "Fifty-Three Stations of Tokaido" (Hoeido version) will be held at the Okada Museum of Art, located in Hakone, the tenth post station and known as the most challenging point on the Tokaido.
This work depicts the beautiful scenery of each season and includes information on famous places and specialties from each region, while vividly portraying the characters that appear, stirring up a longing for travel. The people of Edo, who dreamed of traveling the Tokaido, must also have looked at the paintings and fantasized about them, experiencing the feeling of traveling from the comfort of their homes.
This exhibition will also showcase masterpieces featuring Mt. Fuji, and works by popular Kyoto artists Jakuchu Ito and Okyo Maruyama, along with Kiitsu Suzuki of the Edo Rimpa school, who lived in the same era as Utagawa (approximately 30 works). Visitors can enjoy the feeling of traveling from Edo to Kyoto in the exhibition rooms.
*All 55 works in the "Fifty-Three Stations of Tokaido" will be displayed in two parts- the first and second half of the exhibition.
