Ronin Gallery invites you to indulge your wanderlust through Hiroshige’s complete masterpiece series Famous Places in the 60-odd Provinces (1853-1856). Through the crashing surf at the caves of Enoshima and across the Monkey Bridge nestled high within an autumn canopy, 60-odd Provinces promises a journey that brims with adventure and awe. At Hiroshige’s hand, each of Japan’s 68 historical provinces come to life through a spectrum of natural wonders, regional specialties, and popular pilgrimage destinations. Infused with the values of Edo’s floating world and the 19th-century zeal for travel, these meisho-e (famous place pictures) urge the armchair traveler to discover what’s waiting just beyond each horizon line. Assembled over many years, this set includes all 69 designs of the series as well as the title page.
