Publishing in Fujisawa and Edo: The Story of Tsutaya Juzaburo and Artists
Exhibition Contents
Examples from the publishing industry in Edo and about Fujisawa Post Station are introduced through ukiyo-e and woodblock-printed books (hanpon) from the city’s collection. Fujisawa was influenced greatly by Edo culture and had one of the 53 stations of the Tokaido, Enoshima Road, Oyama Road and other major transportation networks, so it became the theme of many publications.
We will also introduce Tsutaya Juzaburo, a leading figure in the Edo Period publishing industry.
