Painting Description
Oban Tate-e, a woodblock print titled "Fujikawa," is part of the renowned series "Gojusan-tsugi Meisho Zue" (Famous Views of the Fifty-three Stations), published in 1858 by Tsutaya Kichizo. This series is popularly known as the "Vertical Tokaido" due to its distinctive vertical format, which sets it apart from other Tokaido series that typically feature horizontal compositions. The "Vertical Tokaido" series captures the scenic beauty and cultural significance of the fifty-three post stations along the Tokaido Road, a vital route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during the Edo period in Japan.
The artist behind this evocative print is Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e genre. Kunisada was celebrated for his dynamic compositions and masterful use of color, which brought to life the landscapes, kabuki actors, and bijin-ga (beautiful women) that were central to his work. In "Fujikawa," Kunisada's skillful rendering of the landscape and human activity offers a glimpse into the daily life and natural beauty of this particular station on the Tokaido Road.
Another notable work by Utagawa Kunisada is a print featuring immortals on clouds standing above figures in an idyllic setting. This print exemplifies Kunisada's versatility and his ability to blend mythological themes with everyday scenes, creating a harmonious and captivating visual narrative. The depiction of immortals, often associated with longevity and wisdom, reflects the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the time, adding a layer of depth to the artwork.
Kunisada's contributions to the ukiyo-e tradition are significant, as he was one of the most prolific and popular artists of his era. His works not only provide aesthetic pleasure but also serve as valuable historical documents that offer insights into the social, cultural, and artistic milieu of 19th-century Japan. The prints "Fujikawa" and the one featuring immortals on clouds are exemplary of Kunisada's artistic prowess and his enduring legacy in the world of Japanese woodblock prints.
