Very good impression with reduced palette mainly in blue, green and yellow. Slightly yellowed, glued at upper corners. Passepartout. Utagawa hiroshige ii (1826 – 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. 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
