A print from the "Scenes of Famous Places along the Tokaido" series depicting Umesawa — a scenic spot or station along the famous road — as part of the comprehensive visual survey of Japan's most traveled highway. The Tokaido series represented one of the major projects of Kyosai's career, requiring him to engage with the landscape tradition while bringing his own dynamic visual sensibility to subjects that had been treated by Hiroshige with consummate atmospheric grace a generation earlier. Kyosai's Tokaido is energetic where Hiroshige's was lyrical.
