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 - Gorgeous Hiroshige design featuring an elegant peacock posed among large peony blossoms. Wonderful detail in the carefully drawn feathers and lovely color with soft shading in the background. A striking subject that would make a beautiful framed display. A fine Takamizawa reprint with publisher's seal on reverse.
