Utagawa Hiroshige Original 19th Century Japanese Woodblock Print, 'Shimada' Tokaido Series

Product ID: 242052645

Description

This original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, titled 'Shimada' from 'The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido,' measures 14 x 9 1/2 inches. The print has been trimmed, losing its original margins, and has significant paper loss and tearing along the top edge, particularly in the top right corner. The paper is toned with age, showing some creasing and general handling wear, with colors that are somewhat faded compared to early impressions. Despite its condition, this piece remains a captivating representation of Hiroshige's mastery in ukiyo-e art.
