This elegant volume showcases Hiroshige’s exquisite scenes of 19th-century Japan in a format that honors the Japanese bookmaking tradition.

The last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, Hiroshige produced works of subtle yet intense color. This collection of prints, first published in the 1850s, contains images of each of Japan’s provinces. Created during Hiroshige’s highly productive later years, this series was an ambitious project that captured a crucial moment in Japan’s history, a decade before the Meiji Restoration would open the doors to industrialization and Western influence. One of its most striking characteristics is the vertical presentation, which allowed Hiroshige to experiment with perspective. His sweeping panoramas of the beautiful countryside combine the illusion of distance with a depth of detail that draws the viewer in. In addition to these glorious landscapes, Hiroshige’s depictions of busy urban centers provide a rare insight into daily life in the Edo era. This beautiful slip-cased edition includes two volumes: a complete set of seventy prints and a separate booklet that provides an introduction to Hiroshige’s life and art as well as descriptive captions of the prints. From thundering waterfalls and towering cliffs to wide beaches and bustling harbors, Hiroshige’s native land emerges in serene and exquisite detail—the perfect keepsake for fans of ukiyo-e, Japanese culture, and printmaking.

这本精美的画册以尊崇日本书籍制作传统的形式，展现了歌川广重笔下 19 世纪日本的绝美景致。
歌川广重作为浮世绘传统的最后一位伟大大师，创作出色彩细腻而浓烈的作品。这套于 19 世纪 50 年代首次出版的版画集，收录了日本各藩的风貌。该系列创作于歌川广重创作力旺盛的晚期，是一项雄心勃勃的项目，捕捉到了日本历史上的一个关键时刻，即明治维新开启工业化与西方影响大门的十年前。其最显著的特点之一是竖式构图，这使歌川广重能够尝试不同的视角。他笔下美丽乡村的壮阔全景，将距离的错觉与细节的深度相结合，吸引着观者。除了这些壮丽的风景，歌川广重对繁华城市中心的描绘，也为我们提供了难得的江户时代日常生活视角。
这个精美的函套装版本包含两卷：一套完整的七十幅版画，以及一本单独的小册子，介绍歌川广重的生平与艺术，并对版画配有说明性文字。从轰鸣的瀑布、高耸的悬崖，到宽阔的海滩和繁忙的港口，歌川广重的祖国以宁静而精致的细节呈现出来 —— 这是浮世绘、日本文化和版画艺术爱好者的完美纪念品。
