Wednesday, 26 January 2005 Shanks' Mare Tokaido Series: #9 Oiso Artist: Tamenobu Fujikawa Format: Oban yoko-e: 9.5" x 14" approx Subject: The two heroes of 'Shanks' Mare Tokaido' (Tokaido Hizakurige) by Jippensha Ikku, here depicted by Tamenobu, Yajirobe and Kitahachi. The author Ikku was a popular comic writer of the Tokugawa period (19th century) and this was the first 'translation' of the two scoundrels' adventures on the Tokaido highway into Ukiyo-e. Most of the landscape designs bear more than a passing acknowledgment to the designs of Hiroshige for his Great Tokaido series. Here they are depicted at Oiso, only some 20 cho from Hiratsuka, at the hermitage of Toza goze, where it is said that the hermit monk Tora, transformed himself into a rock. A passing mother and daughter tease the heroic travellers by telling them that the stone can easily be lifted by any handsome man. Kita was unable to shift it, even by an inch. Date: October 1918 Condition: As issued, full size and retaining original Japanese album backing paper. Series number and title stamped by hand in top margin. Paper very slightly toned. Minor marks and flaws. Generally very good state of preservation. Colour: Fine Impression: Fine with gauffrage
