Hiroshige III - Fukagawa Tomigaoka Haman
Hiroshige III - Fukagawa Tomigaoka Haman
Utagawa Hiroshige III
From the series "Tokyo Meisho Zue" ("Famous Places of Tokyo"). Fukagawa Tomigaoka Haman. This depicts the third torii gate, built in 1805. After the war, it was relocated as the west torii gate in the precincts, where it remains today. The vermilion-lacquered shrine building was built in 1688 and has been renovated many times since then, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1921. The Hachiman bell pictured on the right side of the shrine building was used to tell the time in Fukagawa during the Edo period, but it was removed due to the influence of the Haibutsu Kishaku movement.
Hiroshige III was - like Hiroshige II - a pupil of the great master Ando Hiroshige. After Hiroshige II was divorced from the daughter of Hiroshige I, he married her and called himself Hiroshige III and used the surname Ando. The work of Hiroshige III gives a highly interesting insight into the development of Japan after the opening to the outside world. Some of his works show subjects like for instance railway stations.
