Description

This original 19th century Japanese woodblock print measures 14 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches and features the Yushima Tenman Shrine in Snow by the renowned artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The print has significant condition issues, including a prominent vertical centerfold, severe fading, and the paper exhibits notable thinning and voids. It has been laid down on a thin backing for support, and the edges show wear with minor losses. Despite these issues, the piece remains a captivating example of Hiroshige's artistry, set in the desirable series 'Famous Places in the Eastern Capital'. Utagawa Hiroshige (Andō Hiroshige, 1797-1858) is celebrated for his landscape series and profound influence on Western art, making this item a significant collectible.
