Eight Famous Views of Edo - Utagawa Hiroshige - 日本 - 江戶時代(1600-1868) (沒有保留價)
This is an original ukiyo-e print from the "Eight Famous Views of Edo" series by the second generation Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Utagawa Shigenori). It is a pure hand-folded woodblock print from the Edo period.
Artist and Series: The artist of this work is the second generation Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Utagawa Shigenori).
He was a painter of the Utagawa ukiyo-e school in the late Edo period of Japan, inheriting the name and style of the first generation Utagawa Hiroshige (Utagawa Hiroshige). He often created ukiyo-e works with themes of famous scenic spots and beautiful women. "Eight Famous Views of Edo" is one of his representative series.
Physical Condition: The size is the common "oboku" (approximately 25×36cm) size for ukiyo-e prints. The "thin areas and stains" are natural signs of aging in old prints and are common characteristics of old objects.
Figures: The woman wears a high bun, typical of the Edo period, and her kimono features a blue, white, and gray diamond-patterned design with wide sleeves decorated with flowers, reflecting the popular clothing style of the time.
She holds a lantern, and tea utensils (tea canister and teacup) are beside her, suggesting she may be out at night or preparing to entertain guests.
Background: In the distance, Edo architecture, streets, and landscapes are visible, reflecting the characteristics of "Meisho-e" (depicting famous scenic spots); the inscription "Eight Views of Edo's Famous Places" in the upper right corner indicates that this is one of a series (the "Eight Views" is a theme borrowed from the Chinese "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang," often depicting landscapes at different times/atmospheres).
Style and Era: Belongs to the Nishiki-e (colored woodblock print) genre, a typical form of Edo Ukiyo-e, with predominantly blue and gray colors, exhibiting a fresh and elegant style.
