Japanese Art: Hiroshige: 36 Views of Mt Fuji: Sunset Hill: Fine Art Print

Description: Hiroshige: Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji: Sunset Hill Sunset Hill, 1858 Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) Fine Art Reproduction Full Size Reproduction: 15.5 x 10.5 inches This reproduction is a new, individually printed and proofed, superior quality, giclee* process, fine art print. It is printed on 100% cotton rag acid-free, heavyweight fine art paper with a luxurious textured watercolor paper finish and archival pigment inks to ensure permanence. Created for collectors, it IS NOT A POSTER or mass produced print on low quality, inexpensive paper. Like Venice and Florence in Renaissance Italy, Edo (modern day Tokyo), was the cultural center of Japan. Visually, Hiroshige’s woodcuts may be taken as a travelogue of mid-ninetieth century Japan that predates the invention of color photography. In essence, that is what the series presents – a color saturated panorama of daily life in Tokyo and its outlying districts with its firework displays, geishas on parade, teahouses and the city’s fashionable commercial and scenic districts. The woodcuts were all of uniform size, approximately 15 x 10 inches (oban tateye format). Hiroshige’s signature – Hiroshige-ga, appears is the vertical cartouche on red background in the lower left hand part of each print. The vertical cartouche, also on red background, in the upper right section is the series title (Meiso Edo hyakkei) and the smaller square in multiple colors bears the name of the individual print. The publisher often left his seal in a vertical cartouche in the lower left hand margin. The censor’s seals are those in the upper right margin. Summary: Japanese print shows a view of Mount Fuji from Meguro in Tokyo, with red maple trees in the foreground. From the series: Fuji Sanjūrokkei : Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, no. 10. Ando Hiroshige was the foremost woodblock artist of his day specializing in scenes of birds, fish, flowers and landscapes. His bird and flower prints defined the kacho-e school of landscape scenes within the larger ukiyo-e genre of portraits of courtesans, actors and scenes from everyday life. During a forty year career Hiroshige produced thousands of kacho-e designs. Many also include short descriptive poems (haiku) by collaborating popular poets.
