Description: In 1921, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Japan's railway inauguration, the Ministry of Railways issued the "Railway Travel Guide." This guide became a bestseller, surpassing 40 editions, and sparked a travel boom. It features numerous bird's-eye view illustrations by Yoshida Hatsusaburō, known as "Taishō Hiroshige." These panoramic illustrations, reminiscent of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e landscape prints, incorporate lyrical motifs and innovative compositions. This makes the guide a rare resource, offering a glimpse into the railway routes and beautiful landscapes of Japan as they were a century ago.
