The Kiso Kaido Sixty-Nine Stations (Kiso Kaido Rokujukyu Tsugi) is a famous route for sightseeing trips in Japan during the Edo period. It is a renowned series of works by the ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, alongside his Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido. The Kiso Kaido (Kiso Highway) was a road connecting the Shinshu region, primarily in present-day Nagano Prefecture. It served as an important transportation route from the medieval period to the early modern era. Hiroshige’s series of prints, known as the “Kiso Kaido Sixty-Nine Stations, ” depicts the scenic spots and landscapes along this road, comprising a total of 69 woodblock prints. The prints of the Kiso Kaido Sixty-Nine Stations beautifully depict famous sightseeing spots, post towns, hot springs, and other landmarks visited by travelers. Hiroshige’s skill and unique perspective allow viewers to experience the landscapes and historical background of travel during the Edo period. This series of ukiyo-e prints continues to be highly regarded as a traditional Japanese art form and is recognized as one of Hiroshige’s masterpieces. Not only can one enjoy the sight of travelers journeying along the Kiso Kaido and its landscapes through these prints, but they also provide valuable insights into Japan’s history and culture from that time. In the Tenpo era, all 55 paintings of “Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido” published by Hoeido became a big hit, and since then he has painted many landscape paintings of the Tokaido. He also left outstanding poetic works in his paintings of flowers and birds, and in his greatest series, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, which he worked on in his final years, he depicted the seasonal scenery of Edo from a unique perspective and rich sensibility. The series is also known for being copied by Van Gogh.

One of his most famous series is “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji” (also known as “Fugaku Sanjurokkei”), and among them, the masterpiece “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is widely recognized as Hokusai’s representative work and one of the iconic pieces of Japanese ukiyo-e. Hokusai’s painting techniques have been passed down through the generations and have influenced numerous subsequent artists. His works were widely acclaimed during his time and continued to have a significant impact on later Japanese art styles. They particularly had a profound influence on Impressionism and modern European art. In addition to artistic creations, Hokusai wrote many books on painting theory and techniques, which became important resources for later art education and painting studies.

This is a beautiful, nearly pristine Koho Shoda print from the celebrated Hasegawa/Nishinomiya Night Scenes Series. This beautiful print clearly shows the wood grain from the blocks, along with vibrant colors. The only slight flaw is a bit of tape remnant on the back of each top corner. The “Made in Japan” stamp on the back likely indicates pre-war after the war, products stamped “made in” had to state Occupied Japan. However, international Country of Origin (COI) marking requirements changed before the occupation ended, making art items such as woodblock prints exempt from COI markings, which is why I believe this to be a pre-war strike. The photos are a major part of the description (any browning or toning appearance is due to my photography ineptness with my iPhone; there is no discoloration at all). Look closely, feel free to ask questions. This is one of the nicest examples of this print that I have seen. Now it can be a delightful addition to your collection.
