Hiroshige - 53 Stations of the Tokaido - Print 51

51 Minakuchi - A solitary traveller walking through the village, where women are peeling and drying gourds; in the backgound a range of hills, printed in colour-block only. This station located in a desolate rural area was famous for its production of dried gourd shavings for use on Japanese dishes. Women are busy making them: one is shaving a gourd, one is helping the shavers, and one is drying the shaved gourd on a rope. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858). The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido - Hoeido edition (1831-4) Date: 1831 - 1834

A man fishing with a square net

This is a valuable photo depicting a fishing technique previously unknown even to folklorists. It appears to be shirauo fishing in the early spring, as bamboo leaves are visible in the square net. In the backgound is a single-sailed boat called chabune.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐53‐0]
