The Artistry
An exceptional hand-pulled woodblock reproduction of Utagawa Hiroshige’s "Tone River, Scattering Star-vessels," Plate No. 64 from the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1857). This print is a masterclass in Japanese perspective, using the gnarled, massive trunk of an ancient pine to frame the sweeping landscape of the Tone River. The "star-vessels" mentioned in the title refer to the small fishing boats that appear like scattered stars against the deep blue of the water, a classic Hiroshige metaphor for the harmony between man and nature.
Technical Details
Medium: Authentic hand-pulled woodblock print.
Paper: Traditional Handmade Japanese Washi. This artisanal paper provides the unique texture and deep ink saturation that allows for the clear "bleed-through" on the reverse, distinguishing it from modern digital copies.
Artist: After Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).
Visuals: Features masterful "Bokashi" (color gradation) in the river and the sunset sky, providing the atmospheric depth the original series is celebrated for.
