Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal [EPUB ebook] 

Hokusai´s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal is the last known full Tokaido series by Hokusai.
It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life´s work.
It is different from much of Hokusai´s other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here.
It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai explores novel ways of designing the print, further developing what he started in the 1804 Horizontal Tokaido.
Hokusai experiments with person themes, voids and white space but also do great full landscapes and humorous encounters on the road.
