拍品描述：
‡ The Property of a LadyUtagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)No. 17, Yui: The Frightful Satta Pass (Yui, Satta toge oya shirazu)Edo period, 19th century woodblock print, from the series Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue), also known as the Vertical Tokaido, signed Hiroshige hitsu (Brush of Hiroshige), censor's seal aratame (certified), published by Tsutaya Kichizo (Koeido), 7th month 1855 Vertical oban: 35.7 x 24.9 cm.Travellers ascend the steep slopes of the Satta Pass in Yui, one of the post-stations along the Tokaido [lit. East Sea Road] that connected the old capital of Kyoto with the new capital of Edo. The Shogunate ordered the construction of the pass on the steep mountainside of Satta in 1655 to ease the treacherous journey along the rocky shoreline. Wind-bent pines jut out from the cliff side; the dusk sunlight is bright with yellow and orange hues before the onset of night suggested by the black bokashi gradation at top. A similar impression of the same print is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 21.5263.
