Sparrows and Poppies

Hiroshige Pillar Prints - Lovely Hiroshige design from a group of kacho-e (birds and flowers prints) and landscapes in the rare pillar print format. The long narrow format imposed different restrictions on Hiroshige's compositions, resulting in dynamic and creative depictions of familiar subjects. These charming scenes are nicely detailed and colored, and are a wonderful way to add a touch of nature to any decor. Each print comes tipped into a windowed folder for viewing, enclosed within an outer envelope. A great choice to collect or display.

Comments - Lovely image of sparrows fluttering around two brightly colored poppies. The background is beautifully shaded from pale blue to pale green. A charming and classic Hiroshige design. A fine Takamizawa reprint with publisher's seal on reverse.

Artist - Hiroshige (1797 - 1858)

Image Size - 13 1/2" x 4 5/8" + margins as shown

Condition - Excellent overall with no issues to report.
