双筆五十三次 藤沢
Fujisawa, from Fifty-three Stations by Two Brushes
Beside a large white animal with black patches, Terute-hime twists her body as she steps forward. Above her, a road lined with pines runs straight into the distance.
About this print
From her hand, a thin line like a rope or a rod stretches off to the right. She wears layer upon layer of red and brown patterned kimono, and the hems flare out wide. Farther right, past the animal, something brown and tuft-like spreads out.
Terute-hime is named both in the title the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gives this print and in the City of Fujisawa's introduction to its ukiyo-e prints. In the Edo period, the main attraction of the post town of Fujisawa was a visit to Yugyoji Temple, together with the old sites tied to the temple's tale of Oguri Hangan and Terute-hime.
Look between the pine trunks, far down the yellow road, and two or three figures no bigger than beans stand in a row. Beyond them, pale houses, or perhaps woods, fade into the haze.
