Description

This original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige depicts 'Snow at Tōeizan Temple in Ueno' from the series 'Famous Places in the Eastern Capital.' Measuring 14 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches, this print is in fair condition with a prominent vertical centerfold crease. It exhibits noticeable fading, age-toning, and thinning of the paper and may have a thin backing. The margins appear trimmed, a common occurrence for prints of this age. Expect light soiling and minor handling creases on the surface, with significant ink bleed-through on the reverse side. Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great masters of ukiyo-e, renowned for his beautiful landscapes and atmospheric depictions. This piece is dated circa 1832-1838 and features the artist's signature, the publisher's seal of Maruya Jinpachi, and a 'kiwame' censor's seal, confirming its authenticity.
