Utagawa Hiroshige - Okitsu-gawa

Здесь представлена серия гравюр из дерева укиё-э, созданных Уттава Хироси после его первого путешествия по Токайдо в 1832 году. Дорога Токайдо, соединяющая столицу сёгуна Эдо с имперской Киото, была главной транспортной артерией старой Японии. Это также самая важная из "пяти дорог" (Гокайдо) - пяти главных дорог Японии, созданных или разработанных в эпоху Эдо для дальнейшего усиления контроля центральной администрации сёгуната над всей страной. Несмотря на то, что издание Hoeido на сегодняшний день является самым известным, "Три станции Токайдо" были настолько популярной темой, что Хироси создал около 30 различных серий оттисков дерева, все они очень отличались друг от друга по размеру (обан или чубан), дизайну или даже количеству (некоторые серии включают всего несколько оттисков).

Sumo is a traditional Japanese martial art and form of wrestling that dates back to ancient times. It originated in the Edo period of Japan when it was a popular form of entertainment for the common people. The first recorded sumo match was held in the year 23 BCE. Over the centuries, sumo has evolved into a highly respected and ritualized sport, with strict rules and traditions. The origins of Sumo date back several centuries when the sport was developed as a way of preserving the ancient traditions of Shinto, a Japanese ethnic religion.
