Woodcut print oban format. From the series "suehiro gojusan tsugi" (a fan with the 53 stations). A daimyo procession with ballonettes arrives in shirazuka at sunset, below beach at low tide and view of the wide bay. Signed: oju hiroshige ga. Censored: aratame. Excellent lifetime impression with bokashi, visible baren printing lines and wood grain, backed, folds, stain at upper left margin, margins partly trimmed. Utagawa hiroshige ii (ni-daime utagawa hiroshige, 1826 – 17 september 1869) was a japanese designer of ukiyo-e art. He inherited the name hiroshige ii following the death in 1858 of his master hiroshige, whose daughter he married. In 1865 he moved from edo to yokohama after dissolving his marriage and began using the name kisai rissho (????; alternate pronunciation: ryusho). His work so resembles that of his master that scholars have often confused them. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
