A beautifully presented pair of vintage Japanese woodblock prints after the celebrated ukiyo-e master Utagawa Hiroshige, published by the esteemed Uchida Art Company (Uchida Hanga, Tokyo).
These hand-pulled prints date to the mid-20th century and were produced using traditional woodblock techniques, including individually carved blocks and layered pigment application. Both works exhibit the soft tonal gradation (bokashi) and subtle textural variation characteristic of authentic Japanese woodblock printing.
The first print depicts Hiroshige’s iconic “Sudden Shower at Shōno” from the famed Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō series—an evocative composition capturing travelers caught in a sudden rainstorm, rendered with dynamic diagonal rainfall and expressive movement.
The second print presents a serene moonlit river landscape, likely inspired by Hiroshige’s poetic seasonal views, featuring a sweeping willow tree, calm waters, and distant figures beneath a luminous sky.
Both prints retain their original publisher seals and are professionally matted and framed in complementary bamboo-style wood frames, enhancing their timeless Japanese aesthetic.
A refined and collectible pairing—ideal for traditional, transitional, or globally inspired interiors.
