The little tokaido of Hiroshige

Fac-Simile from the smallest album dedicated by Hiroshige to the road to Tokaïdo, accompanied by a booklet describing each board, in a partially crafted case.

In the 1830s, Hiroshige was the author of several series of engravings illustrating the famous road between Tokyo and Kyoto which inspired so many scenes to Japanese poets and novelists.

Separate reissue under the casual album dedicated by Hiroshige to this route: a Fac-Simile reproduction that appeared in the Hiroshige cabinet. On the Tokaido road, itself accompanied by an album showing the other types of prints dealing with the same pattern.

The book is accompanied by a booklet written by Nelly Delay explaining the origin and fortune of the theme of inspiration that this road represents and describing all the boards of the album devoted to as many stations of this famous communication route.
