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 design by Hiroshige featuring a pheasant perched on a rocky ledge, framed by colorful chrysanthemums. The feathers of the bird are beautifully detailed, and the background is softly shaded from gray to blue. A classic Hiroshige kacho-e (birds and flowers print) subject, perfect for display. The verse at top left reads:

Chrysanthemum scent --
every time a drop of dew
drips down from inside!
