Continuing from yesterday’s blog entry<\/a>, the “Special Exhibition: Vision and Reminiscence of Edo – Masterpieces from the Takahashi Seiichiro Collection of Ukiyo-e Prints” was a lot of fun to stumble upon.<\/p>\n

This next ukiyoe<\/I> reminded me of another recent scene.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take a photograph of Enoshima from the same angle drawn by Hiroshige in “The Fifty-three Stations of the T\u014dkaid\u014d,” but I did take one, below, on the bridge out to Enoshima (\u6c5f\u30ce\u5cf6).<\/p>\n

And I took one looking back, to where Hiroshige did his drawing 180 years before, from the shrine at the top of the stairs on Enoshima. Much has changed on the landscape with 180 years of development, but you can still feel<\/I> the ukiyoe<\/I> if you visit the area on something other than a weekend or holiday.<\/p>\n

Finally, there was another ukiyoe<\/i> (\u6d6e\u4e16\u7d75), below, that was very fresh in my mind. We crossed Nihonbashi (\u65e5\u672c\u6a4b) in order to get to the Mitsui Memorial Museum just a half hour before.<\/p>\n

It, too, has changed (and yet not changed) in the subsequent centuries–especially with the freeway being built right over the top.<\/p>\n

\"nihonbashi<\/a><\/p>\n

But some things are still there, even if in a slightly different format…<\/p>\n
