●內容簡介——

這套宏偉的盒裝書包括一冊絲質裝訂的、令人驚歎的、手風琴式摺疊的廣成子完整系列的彩色複製品，並配有一本單獨的小冊子，介紹每幅畫的背景和説明。

在北齋推出描繪日本最知名標誌的浮世繪版畫系列大約25年後，廣重也開始了這一主題的創作--這是那個時代的版畫家的普遍做法。本卷收錄了1852年首次出版的廣重木版畫系列的橫版複製品，顯示了一位成熟的藝術家在其時期的工作狀態。在每幅作品的背景中，富士山都在不同的有利位置和變化的燈光下出現，聳立在崇高的美景中，經常有一些與自然和諧相處的人物出現。這些精美的摺頁是欣賞廣重的構圖眼光、他對線條的非傳統使用以及色彩和情緒的微妙變化的選擇。觀眾還可以通過精心應用的細節和象徵意義瞭解到19世紀日本的日常生活和文化。Jocelyn Bouquillard在他的介紹性小冊子中為每幅印刷品提供了説明，並對木版印刷的非凡和艱辛過程進行了讚賞。這些書被裝在一個優雅的手提箱中，反映了印刷品本身所體現的美麗的藝術性和傳統性。

This magnificent boxed set includes a silk- bound volume of stunning, accordion-fold, color reproductions of Hiroshige’s complete series, accompanied by a separate booklet with background and deions of each print.

Roughly twenty-five years after Hokusai released his series of ukiyo-e prints depicting Japan’s most recognizable symbol, Hiroshige took on the subject as well—a common practice among the era’s printmakers. This volume features reproductions of the horizontal version of Hiroshige’s woodblock series, first published in 1852, and which reveal a mature artist working at the height of his powers. In the background of each of the views Mount Fuji is featured under varying vantage points and changing lights, towering over sites of sublime beauty, often animated by a few characters living in harmony with nature. These exquisite fold-out plates are perfect for appreciating Hiroshige’s eye for composition, his nontraditional use of line, and the subtle gradations of color and mood. Viewers can also learn much about daily life and culture in 19th-century Japan through carefully applied detail and symbolism. In his introductory booklet, Jocelyn Bouquillard provides captions for each print, as well as an appreciation of the remarkable and painstaking process of woodblock printing. Packaged in an elegant slipcase, these volumes reflect the beautiful artistry and traditions that are embodied in the prints themselves.
