Utagawa Hiroshige (1797~1858)

Japanese Woodblock Print  Name 

No.027 - 26th Station Kakegawa   掛川　秋葉山遠望

From The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hoeido-Edition)

Kakegawa was a bustling stop on the Akiba Highway, which also led to Shinano.

The subtitle "Akiba Mountain" refers to Akiba Shrine, the shrine dedicated to the god of

 fire prevention, but it is far to the north of the "Oike Bridge" in this painting and cannot

 be seen in this composition.

It is thought that Hiroshige was conscious of the pilgrimage to Akiba,

which was popular at the time.

The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hoeido-Ban) were reproduced

by Tokyo traditional woodcut craft Association

These traditional woodblock prints were reproduced exactly as the first edition

at Edo-Tokyo Museum have by many of top skilled craftsmen

like a dream team in Japan.
