Tea Stands at a Shrine, 1854 - Attractive scene of tea stands on a hilltop alongside a shrine. Patrons relax on benches beneath the roofed stalls, enjoying the view of the rooftops stretching out across the city below. A shrine building frames the image at right, with a few white sails dotting the blue sea beyond. Nicely colored.

Artist - Hiroshige (1797 - 1858)

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

Condition - With excellent color and detail as shown. Lightly toned throughout and backed with thin paper. One considerable stain in center of panel.
