item#: 1424717
price: $700.00
Japanese Meiji period woodblock print triptych titled “Famous Places in Tokyo: Ueno Park” by Hiroshige III (1843-1894) dated 1876. This historically significant "enlightenment" print illustrates the influence of the west both on the architecture and on the western style attire of the visitors to the park. Cherry blossoms are in bloom and Mt. Fuji is in the background. Overall size: 13 3/4" x 28.” Very good overall condition and color. The print is not backed and the baren marks are clearly visible on the back. Panels are joined and the images on the left and center panels do not match up precisely. The paper is very fine. There is a hole at the top of the right panel and there are worn and thinned areas and tiny holes throughout. The edges are slightly frayed. Minor pigment transference is evident in the right panel.
