Description
The Artistry
A beautiful hand-pulled woodblock reproduction of Utagawa Hiroshige's "Oji Inari Shrine," Plate No. 18 from his 1857 masterpiece series, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. This serene composition captures the most important Inari shrine in Eastern Japan during the first month of the lunar year, a time of major pilgrimage. The view is framed by blossoming plum trees and features a dramatic, plunging perspective of the valley below.
Technical Details
Medium: Authentic hand-pulled woodblock print.
Paper: Traditional Handmade Japanese Washi. The distinct fibrous texture of this paper allows for the deep ink saturation and classic "bleed-through" on the reverse, a signature of quality hand-printing.
Artist: After Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).
Visuals: Features sophisticated "Bokashi" (color gradation) in the bright spring sky and the distant hills of the Kanto plain.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Grade: Excellent Vintage Condition.
Details: Colors are crisp and well-preserved. The Washi paper shows a uniform, light creamy age-toning that highlights its vintage mid-20th-century origin.
Collector's Note: Part of a curated set of 12 Hiroshige prints. The reverse is clean and free of any mounting adhesives or tape residue, making it ideal for professional framing.
