Very good impression, colour and condition. Signed Hiroshige. Vertical print on Washi paper. Good bleed through, excellent bokashi & desired baren marks.

These smaller post card size/mini prints were made after WWll in Japan for locals and foreigners alike, as a momento of their visit. The detail is incredible and the artist allows us a look back in time via these little portals of artwork. Wood block is an extremely time consuming and exacting art. Very collectable now.
