"The red and black roof of a pagoda overlooks a peaceful river, a train speeding in the distance along the bank, between tradition and nascent modernity."

Context of the work

This print is part of the One Hundred Views of Edo series, which captures the city just before the major transformations of the Meiji era. The pagoda of Zōjōji Temple in Akabane stands alongside the railway, a discreet witness to a Japan undergoing profound change.

What does the presence of a train reveal in this traditional print?

The railway visible in the distance, alongside the Zōjōji Temple pagoda, discreetly testifies to a Japan undergoing profound change, just before the major transformations of the Meiji era.

Heure d'été Editions

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
