Artist: Ando Hiroshige Title: Peonies and Bird Size: approx. 40 × 28 cm Publisher: O-Edo Mokuhansha Reprint year: 1960s Original: approx. 1856 Condition: Very good condition. Woodgrain visible. The print comes with its original folder, including Japanese notes about the work. About the work: Hiroshige drew many images that included peony flowers - frequently with flying or perching birds. Peonies - being such attractive flowers - have many lovers in Japan, but they are at the same time famous for the difficulty in cultivation. Another rare lovely design from Hiroshige in very unique colors. About the publisher: These classic designs were issued by the Tokyo publisher Oedo Mokuhansha during a renewed interest in ukiyo-e. Descended from an Edo-era publishing family, they upheld the traditional craft across generations. Their prints are beautifully made, high-quality reprints—an excellent choice for collectors seeking fine old woodblock editions.
