Description: " Presented alongside Hiroshige's prints with descriptions and context Delord's work offers an absorbing contemplation of Japan's past and present via one legendary travel route and shows how thoroughly upended our surroundings have been in what was in wider perspective only a short time."

The Fifty - Three Stations of the Tokaido is the best - known work of the great 19th century Japanese woodblock artist Utagawa Hiroshige.

Inside are all 53 original scenery prints made by Hiroshige alongside their modern - day equivalent by Delord. A lively commentary about his experiences as he tries to locate each of the 53 scenes (without speaking Japanese!) offers readers an insightful and often humorous look into both modern and historical Japan. Part travelogue part work of art this book is sure to delight armchair travelers history buffs art enthusiasts and Japanophiles alike!
