Yamamura Tomoyo

Born in Yaizu, Yamamura Tomoyo graduated from Shizuoka University of Art and Culture. She creates works featuring her original character of Ruu-kun the Frog, along with illustrations and characters for companies, government bodies, and various events. The Frog and Rabbit Do the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido exhibited here is a work she started creating back in 2015. Wanting to draw the modern landscapes of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido that Hiroshige depicted, she visited each location and took photographs to base her drawings on. This is the first time all 55 illustrations have been exhibited together.

Second Exhibition
These, Too, are Hiroshige’s Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido

The Exhibition Room will hold a simultaneous exhibition entitled “These, Too, are Hiroshige’s Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido” that features some of the stranger versions of the twenty or so different Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido that Hiroshige created over his lifetime, such as the Kyoka Tokaido with its comic poems.
