  Hokusai, Katsushika

  Toto shokei ichiran (Berühmte Ansichten der östlichen Hauptstadt). Mit 21 Farbholzschnitten. 2 Bde. Spätere Ausgabe der Edition von 1800, hrsg. von Suharaya Mohei und Kawachiya Mohei. 10 Bll. und 11 Bll. 8°. Jap. Blockbuch, 1 Bd. mit montiertem DSchild (etwas berieben und bestoßen).

  Hillier I 497-499. - Hillier schreibt zu dem Werk: "With this book (...) Hokusai began to realize his potential both as a landscape artist and as an artist able to people each scene with figures whose natural liveliness brought a new dimension to this kind of genre. It is not just topography or street scenes: the colourful clothes, the absorbing proceedings of festivals, sight-seeing excursions, markets, pleasure-going, the whole atmosphere of the life of the city is conveyed in an opposite accompaniment to the verses, justifying the description 'poetic topography' that has been coined for books of this kind." - Altersbedingt etwas gebräunt. Bd. 1 stellenweise mit Anschmutzungen.

  (Famous Views of the Eastern Capital.) With 21 colour woodcut prints. 2 vols. 1800, this edition later. Published by Suharaya Mohei and Kawachiya Mohei. Japanese binding, vol. 1 with mounted cover title (somewhat rubbed and soiled). - Slightly browned due to age. Vol. 1 partly with soiling.
