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 Hiroshige birds and flowers subject of an egret in flight above deep purple Japanese irises blooming at the edge of a pond. The water and sky are beautifully shaded, and the feathers are delicately embossed. A very attractive piece that would make a knockout display. A fine Takamizawa reprint with publisher's seal on reverse.
