The 19th century printmakers like Hokusai are well known in the west. But not enough is known about the post WW2 modern masters like Kiyoshi Saito and his compatriots. I have a handful of prints from the late occupation that are wonderful. Check them out!

Awesome. I don’t know much about Japanese prints, but I’ve enjoyed a couple of David Bull binges recently.

The description of the second picture really confused me. Why would a road from Edo to Kyoto be called "Hokkaido Highway"? Turns out, it isn't. It's called "Tokaido Highway".

Tokaido is quite fascinating to me. A 500km long path, primarily traveled on foot even in the 19th century because there weren't many horses or carts. The rich were carried in hammocks by a team of 4 people.
