Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1801

<p>Hokusai's 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō 1801 is something completely different! It is his first.</p><p>It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life's work.</p><p>It is different from much of Hokusai's other well known work like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here.</p><p>It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō in that Hokusai does not focus on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed.</p><p>Instead Hokusai focus on the events the interactions between the travellers the tales that you will share with your friends when you get back home.</p><p>It was a great and earlier contribution to the Tōkaidō literature.</p><p> </p><p>This book is available in print versions from Barnes and Noble Press</p>
