內容簡介
內容簡介 六十餘州名所圖會(六十余州名所図会)是日本浮世繪畫家歌川廣重創作的版畫浮世繪。創作於1853~1856年間。作品包含五畿七道六十八國以及江戶城、共計六十九名所,合目錄一頁,全七十幅。 The last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, Hiroshige produced works of subtle yet intense colour. 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 the Japan's history, a decade before the Meiji Restoration would open the doors to industrialisation 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 centres 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 harbours, Hiroshige's native land emerges in serene and exquisite detail - the perfect keepsake for fans of ukiyo-e, Japanese culture, and printmaking.
