Hiroshige & Eisen: The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido (Taschen XL) - Andreas Marks

Hiroshige & Eisen: The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido (TASCHEN XL) is an extraordinary Japanese art collector’s edition presenting one of the greatest achievements of ukiyo-e woodblock print history. Created between 1835 and 1838, this celebrated series documents the famous Kisokaidō route connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto, with travelers, inns, landscapes, villages, and mountain passes brought vividly to life. The first 24 prints were created by Keisai Eisen, known for elegant figures and lively scenes, while the remaining works were completed by the legendary Utagawa Hiroshige, master of atmospheric landscapes and poetic natural beauty. Together, their works create a fascinating visual journey through 19th-century Japan before industrialization. Produced in premium TASCHEN XL format, this edition is sourced from a rare near-complete first-edition set, reproduced in exceptional quality with traditional Japanese binding and uncut paper. A must-have masterpiece for collectors of Japanese art, printmaking, and world culture.
