Hiroshige's Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji - In Japan, Mt. Fuji is a sacred place and a symbol of the country itself. Hiroshige’s wonderful Fuji series shows the mountain in all seasons and from various vantage points. From the urban city center of Edo to small village cherry blossom viewing to the fantastic crashing wave at Awa, Fuji always appears serene and unmoved, despite the beauty and activity around. This series is without question one of Hiroshige’s great masterworks and the prints from are highly sought after by collectors.

This Reprint Edition - The Goto Association for Preserving Ukiyo-e commissioned the Adachi Publisher to create this beautiful reprint edition of Hiroshige's "Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji." In an effort to revive and preserve the traditional artistry of Japanese woodblock prints, they hired the most skilled artisans and used handmade paper and vegetable pigments. Ichibei Iwano, a Japanese Living National Treasure, made the Echizen-hosho paper, Hambei Okura carved selected cherry wood blocks, and Katomro Murata printed the designs, under the supervision of publisher Toyohisa Adachi. Each print bears the Adachi Publisher seal on the reverse. A wonderful opportunity to collect a classic Hiroshige subject, beautifully reprinted

Futami Bay in Ise Province - Terrific view of the famous "Wedded Rocks" in Futami Bay in Ise Province. The rocks are wrapped with sacred shimenawa ropes, with a red torii gate at the very top of the largest peak. The surf crashes around the base of the rocks, rolling onto the shore in foamy white waves. Tiny sails dot the water and Mt. Fuji rises above the rosy glow along the horizon. A great design with lovely shading.
