Wednesday, 26 January 2005 Shanks' Mare Tokaido Series: #2 Shinagawa 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. Most of the landscape designs bear more than a passing acknowledgment to the designs of Hiroshige for his Great Tokaido series. Here they have soon arrived in Shinagawa 2ri from the Nihonbashi. This stage is the first of the 53 posting stations along the Tokaido. There were many inns and bars where travellers spent happy hours taking leave of their friends and families. The two men travelled on together, exchanging humorous banter with each other and soon reached Suzugamori where many criminals congregated. Date: October 1918 Condition: As issued, full size and retaining original Japanese album backing paper. Paper very slightly toned. Minor marks and flaws. Generally very good state of preservation. Colour: Fine Impression: Fine with gauffraqge
