This is a polychrome woodblock print (nishiki-e, ink and colour on paper), likely realized by Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) at the middle of 19th century. This plate is signed on plate by the artist in a cartouche, and reportes the marks of censor’seal. In fair condition, with visible aging signs (yellowing of the paper, discolorations, holes, abrasion of the paper and missing parts of the sheet). Although some thinned areas this ukiyo-e print has preserved still today its charme. Collect this ukiyo-e, depicting a pleasant Asian and natural landscape, to embellish your house with a sophisticated Oriental touch! Utagawa Hiroshige (Japan, 1797-1858) Born Ando Hiroshige, Hiroshige was the best known Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition . Remembered for his horizontal-format landscape series, the obans of the print series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo . The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). The Hiroshige's death marked the beginning of a rapid decline in the ukiyo-e genre, especially in the face of the westernization that followed the Meiji Restoration of 1868, but the Hiroshige trends returned under the name of “Japonism” on Western European painting towards the close of the 19th century. Famous artists, such as Manet and Monet, collected and closely studied Hiroshige's compositions. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
