Description
UKIYO-E JAPANESE WOODBLOCK FRAMED ART PRINT Cats Suggested As The Fifty-three Stations of the Tkaid () by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1850. (center & right part of the triptych) This print is a playful spoof on Hiroshige's The Fifty-three Stations of the Tkaid(1833-34), an impressive best-seller of the genre, enough so that even a decade on this ukiyo-e cat-pun print was still relevant! Whilst Hiroshige's works captured every post station of the Tkaid ('Eastern Sea Road') through various landscapes, Utagawa Kuniyoshi goes straight for wordplay & puns on the names of the stations, representing them with cats & their antics. The wordplay subtleties might be lost on a non-Japanese speakers, the cats can be certainly appreciated by anyone Utagawa Kuniyoshi was a great cat-lover & it was said that he always had his studio full of cats, apparently he could even be often seen working with a kitten or a cat snuggled in his kimono.
