Shower at Tokaido; Passengers at a lossArtist:
Takahashi Shotei (1871-1945) - You can find lots of information about Shotei on my All About Takahashi Shotei page. He used various art names, such as Hiroaki, Rakutei, and Kakei.Description:
This print is a commonly seen post-quake version of a rarely seen pre-quake design. It's always been a source of wonder for me to realize just how much of this design was plagiarized from Hiroshige's "Suhara" which is station #40 of his series "The Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaido Road". This print points out the essence of why Watanabe hired Shotei in the first place. His job was to produce new ukiyo-e designs similar to the old ones.Publisher:
