THE 53 STATIONS OF THE TOKAIDO + ONE HUNDRED ASPECTS OF THE MOON

In this work, we present The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido and The One Hundred Aspects of the Moon. The former consists of a series of prints created by Utagawa Hiroshige after his first journey along the Tokaido Road in 1832. This road was the most important in Japan, connecting the shogun's capital, Edo, with the imperial capital, Kyoto.

The second work, by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, features the moon as its protagonist, illuminating each and every one of the prints by this brilliant 19th-century artist, who brings us closer to Japanese folklore and its extraordinary world of traditions, love, and war. Two centuries later, Mirai Kobayashi, a Japanese artist and Madrid native by adoption, comments on and interprets the work of his ancestors.

A luxury that will allow the reader to travel under the moon and explore the Tokaido Highway guided by a renowned painter, illustrator, and calligrapher, and analyze the work through the eyes of an artist who seeks the essence of art in water and thinks with a brush.

This edition includes four fabulous prints, two by each artist, for display and decoration on any wall. At The Galobart Books, we have selected the most spectacular prints to be part of a private and exclusive collection of Japanese art.
