Journey through history with this exquisite poster of Kawase
Hasui’s evocative 1930 woodblock print, "Nikko Kaido."
About the Artwork
"Nikko Kaido" is a captivating woodblock print created by Kawase
Hasui in 1930. As part of his renowned series "Collection of Scenic Views
of Japan," this artwork invites you to journey along the iconic Nikko
Kaido road. Connecting Edo (now Tokyo) to the revered town of Nikko, this route
holds historical significance. Hasui masterfully portrays a solitary traveler
on this path, their figure moving forward with purpose, a basket comfortably settled
on their back. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the scene, casting
a sense of quiet contemplation. Through meticulous detail and delicate use of
color, Hasui captures not just a physical journey, but the essence of an
introspective sojourn. "Nikko Kaido" is an ode to the allure of
discovery and the beauty of venturing into the past, allowing you to step into
the footsteps of history.
