No. 28: Nagakubo, from the series "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido (Kisokaido rokujukyu tsugi no uchi)"
- Date:
- c. 1835/38
- Medium:
From Hiroshige's Hoeido Tokaido (1833–34), considered his greatest achievement and among the finest landscape print series in Japanese art. The Hoeido edition is worth many times more than Hiroshige's later Tokaido series. Early impressions show the distinctive crisp bokashi gradation that later wears away.
Nagakubo is station 28 along the Kisokaido, nestled in the Suwa highlands of Shinano Province. This print from the collaborative "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series shows the settlement amid mountain terrain, with the cool light of the highland interior distinguishing it from the coastal warmth of the Tokaido series. Hiroshige handled the latter half of the Kisokaido sequence after Eisen withdrew from the project.
