Publisher - Adachi from a rare series of Edo masterwork designs. Adachi publisher seal in margin or on reverse.

Adachi was one of the most respected publishers of the 20th century. Their woodblocks were printed to the highest standards with excellent color and fine detail. Founded in 1925, Adachi also chose interesting and varied subjects for their prints and was the only publisher of many famous old ukiyo-e images.

Evening Moon at Ryogoku - A beautiful scene of the Ryogoku bridge, the huge wooden supports over the Sumida River - a classic Hiroshige scene. The rooftops of Edo beyond in the distance, the sun setting and full moon rising in this lovely scene. A favorite from the series and a great choice for display. Printed on tan paper to simulate an aged appearance.
