A Road Traveled by Feudal Lords and Pet Dogs: Hiroshige's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, Prima
Date: 17 Dec 2011 - 15 Jan 2012

Compare woodblock prints from two versions of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido-the Hoeido Edition from the Nakagawa-machi Bato Hiroshige Museum of Art, and the Reisho Edition from the Suntory Museum of Art's own collection. The exhibition brings together the two versions as they follow the highway from Edo(Tokyo) to Kyoto. In addition to prints that convey scenes from the time of initial publication (shozuri), the Hoeido Edition includes updated views (kawarizu) where the block has been partly recut. Here they are exhibited together with the binding to hold portfolio used when republished as a set of prints after completion of all 55 views.
