Fukuroi Dejaya No Zu (An Outdoor Tea Stall at Fukuroi), is a beautiful color woodblock print on paper, the plate n. 28 from the series Fifty-three Stations Along the Tokaido (Tokaido Gosantsugi no uchi). This plate, as well all the plates of the whole printed suite, was designed by the ukiyo-e old master, Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重, 1797-1858) around 1833-34, after his travel along the Tokaido in 1832. Horizontal Oban. In very good condition, except for visible paper wrinkles and other aging signs (yellowing of the paper, stains or foxing along the margins), and although some locks in the print, this ukiyo-e print preserves still today its beauty and charme, showing the talented graphic touch of Hiroshige. A copy of the same plate is preserved at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California. Provenance: German private collection, assembled between the 1950s and 2000. Collect this superb ukiyo-e, depicting a pleasant break-time with a tea under the shadow of a tree, to embellish your house with a sophisticated Oriental touch! The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (東海道五十三次, Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), is a series of ukiyo-e woodcut prints created by Utagawa Hiroshige after his first travel along the Tōkaidō in 1832. The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō was such a popular subject that led Hiroshige to create some 30 series of woodcut prints on it, all very different one from the other by their size (ōban or chuban), their designs or even their number (some series include just a few prints). The Tōkaidō road, linking the shōgun's capital, Edo, to the imperial one, Kyōto, was the main travel and transport artery of old Japan. This was also the most important of the "Five Roads" (Gokaidō)—the five major roads of Japan created or developed during the Edo period to further strengthen the control of the central shogunate administration over the whole country. The Hōeidō edition of the Tōkaidō is Hiroshige's best known work, and the best sold ever ukiyo-e Japanese prints. Created after Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, this print series established this new major theme of ukiyo-e, the landscape print, or fūkei-ga, with a special focus on "famous views" (meisho). Hiroshige's series met a full success, not only in Japan, but later in Western countries. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
