UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE (1797-1858) View of Saijo, Iyo Province Woodblock print, from the series Rokujuyoshu meisho zue (Pictures of famous places in the sixty-odd provinces), signed Hiroshige hitsu, published by Koshimuraya Heisuke (Koshihei), 9th month 1855 Vertical oban: 14 3/8 x 10 1/8 in. (36.5 x 25.8 cm.)
To capitalize on the great success in the 1830s of Hiroshige’s landscape series of the Tokaido and Kisokaido roads, the publisher Koshimuraya Heisuke embarked on the ambitious project that resulted in Sixty-odd Views of the Provinces, released between 1853 and 1856. He engaged Hiroshige to design single views of famous spots in each of Japan’s sixty-eight provinces, which are identified in the title cartouche of each print.
