An ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing a snow-covered view of Kanbara, circa 1850. Signed in Kanji … more An ink on paper, Nishiki-e and Yoko-e woodblock landscape showing a snow-covered view of Kanbara, circa 1850. Signed in Kanji lower left, "Hiroshige Ga" for Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) and printed circa 1946 by Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981). An exceptionally crisp image with fresh color, printed on traditional Washi paper and showing delicate bokashi gradation of sumi ink in the foreground and horizon. Sheet Dimensions: 10.25 H x 15.25 W inches.

A quiet, snowy night falls on the town of Kanbara. Hiroshige took his journey in late summer, suggesting that this snowy scene is imaginary. Snow gathers not only on the landscape and houses, but also atop the backs and hats of the few travelers brave enough to be out in these conditions. The viewer has to feel for the figure furthest to the right, walking in only the lightest of robes with his bare legs exposed to the elements.

This example is from Okuyama's mid-century reissue of the artist's "Fifty Three Stations of the Tokaido Road", a series of Ukiyo-e prints created between 1833 and 1855. These depicted various views of the most important five main trade roads connecting Kyoto to modern-day Tokyo during the Edo period (1603-1868). A comic poem or "kyoka" also appears, inscribed in elegant kuzushiji script.

The best-known student of Utagawa Toyohiro (ca.1773-1829), Utagawa Hiroshige studied the Western style introduced by the founder of the Utagawa school, Toyoharu (1735-1814). Together with Hokusai, Hiroshige is considered one of the two leading Japanese landscape painters of the nineteenth century and he became one of the foremost representatives of the Ukiyo-e movement. He created more than 400 woodcut and woodblock prints of actors, warriors, courtesans and, particularly, naturalistic landscapes of Japan. Hiroshige's work was highly regarded in his own time and also became influential in the development of European Modernist painting of the late nineteenth century, especially that of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists including Monet, Van Gogh and Gauguin.
