This postcard size woodblock depicts two Japanese ladies in a Teahouse or stall overlooking a rural scene at Zoshigaya (Zoshigaya Fujimi chaya), from the famous series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei). Original print was published by Tsutaya Kichizo, 1858.
Signed Hiroshige. Vertical print on Washi paper. Good bleed through & 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 very time consuming and exacting art. Very collectable now.
