A rare, curated set of three 20th-century woodblock prints by Utagawa Hiroshige. These were professionally framed by the renowned Henry Swasey in Berkeley, CA (circa 1910-1925).

The Collection:

This set represents a "career retrospective" of Hiroshiges night scenes. Because they pull from different series, you will notice authentic variations in the signatures and cartouchesfrom his fluid early style to the bold red box signatures of his final years.

1. Saruwaka-machi: Famous theater district moon scene.

2. Tsukudajima: Fishing fires under a starlit sky.

3. Teahouse on Water: A lyrical, traditional landscape.
