What reading level is Hiroshige book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is already known that his famous Tokaido series was based on the sketches which he drew when he journeyed along the Tokaido highway as a member of the suite in the presentation of a horse to the Imperial House from the Shogun. His other famous pieces belonging to his Tempo period were also the result of his actual observa- tion. His illustrated travelling books dated Aj^ril, the twelveth of Tempo (1841) and the fifteenth of Tempo (1844), that are treasured to-day by Mr. Kobayashi of Tokyo, w...hen they are properly translated, will be valuable material for the students of Hii'oshige in the West.
The hyper-gesthetic Utamaro, as Vou Seidlitz writes somewhere, with his insistence on exaggeration, even impossibility, in the pliant, almost supernatural figures, might be called the beginning of the decadence of Ukiyoye art ; but Sharaku, a colossal and tragic genius of graphic characterisation and devastating contempt, or even Toyokuui, of course the First Toyoknni in a splendid triptycli, " The Journey of Narihira " or " The Ladies and Cherry Blossoms in the Wind," will often make the severe critic sit up, who inclines to think that with Kiyonaga of beautiful technique (which comes, as somebody remarked, nearer to the Greek sentiment toward the nude than any other artist except Toyonobu) 28 this Ukiyoye art liad already reached the zenith of its development.
