Fujikawa. Pilgrims passing through a small village in a snow-covered landscape, Fujikawa is the 38th station on the Tokaido Road. Ukiyo-e (picture of the floating world) is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e was central to forming the West's perception of Japanese art in the late 19th century. The landscape genre has come to dominate Western perceptions of ukiyo-e. The Japanese landscape differed from the Western tradition in that it relied more heavily on imagination, composition, and atmosphere than on strict observance of nature. From the series: Gojusantsugi meisho zue: Views of famous places of the 53 stations of the Tokaido Road. Utagawa Hiroshige, 1855. | |
