Wednesday, 26 January 2005 Shanks' Mare Tokaido Series: #5 Hodogaya Artist: Tamenobu Fujikawa Format: Oban yoko-e: 9.5" x 14" approx Subject: The two heroes of 'Shanks' Mare Tokaido' (Tokaido Hizakurige) by Jippensha Ikku, here depicted by Tamenobu, Yajirobe and Kitahachi. The author Ikku was a popular comic writer of the Tokugawa period (19th century) and this was the first 'translation' of the two scoundrels' adventures on the Tokaido highway into Ukiyo-e. Most of the landscape designs bear more than a passing acknowledgment to the designs of Hiroshige for his Great Tokaido series. Here they are depicted approaching Katabira Bridge. Yaji started to cry when he caught sight of a porter on the bridge weighed down by his burdens. He told Kita that the poor man reminded him of his late wife.
