Print depicting a large green, blue, yellow, brown, grey, and black cliff amongst smaller, more distant mountaintops. Two people travel down the side of the mountain. The cliff hangs over a body of water. There is a yellow and white skyline. Print of Hakone Station (#10). This is one of a series of reproductions of the "53 Post Stations on the Tokaido Hwy," from Nihonbashi to Kyoto (Hoei-do edition). Print is matted on a piece of white-yellow paper and has an additional cover page that folds over the print. A printed inscription on the cover page reads: "HAKONE Generally considered the most unique of the Tokaido series. It is an unusual example of a very fine print using only primary colors. The view which shows in one picture Mt. Komagadake with Mt. Fuji on the opposite side of the circle of the lake, is particular ingenious." There are Japanese characters at the top, bottom, and side of the printed message.
This series (Hoeido Edition) was reproduced by Nihon Hanga Kenkyu-Sho Ltd. (Japan Institute for the Study of Woodblock Prints) through the skill of renowned modern engravers; it took three years to complete.
