A remarkable hand-pulled woodblock reproduction of Utagawa Hiroshige’s "Moon Pine, Ueno," Plate No. 89 from the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1857). This work showcases Hiroshige’s genius for "telescopic" perspective, framing a distant temple scene through the iconic circular branch of a legendary pine tree. In Japanese culture, the pine tree is a revered symbol of longevity and steadfastness, and this specific "horticultural oddity" was a must-see landmark in feudal Tokyo.
Technical Details
Medium: Authentic hand-pulled woodblock print.
Paper: Traditional Handmade Japanese Washi. The artisanal quality of this paper is evident in its fibrous texture and the distinct ink "bleed-through" on the reverse, distinguishing it from mass-produced digital prints.
Artist: After Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).
Visuals: Features sophisticated "Bokashi" (color gradation) in the blue water and the deep red of the Benten Shrine, creating a vibrant, layered landscape.
