In Hiroshige’s inset, a sandy path climbs a green hillside above the sea, travellers carrying loads along it as white waves break on the shore. Below, a samurai in a grey striped robe with a gold crest sits in a green-roofed palanquin set on the ground, a sword at his side and a red floral cushion beneath him, a pair of sandals hanging from its side. A small boy in a patterned coat sprawls on the ground beside it, looking up at him.
The Fifty-three Stations by Two Brushes (1854–57) paired the two most popular print artists of late Edo: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), the landscape master of the Tōkaidō road, and Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), the leading designer of actor and figure prints. Each sheet sets a Kunisada figure — an actor, a beauty, a legendary character — before a Hiroshige view of the station behind. The series is held by the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
