Series; The Eight Snow Scenes in the Eastern Capital
Fine printing from the respected Tokyo publisher Oedo Mokuhansha - These classic designs were produced by the well known Tokyo publisher Oedo Mokuhansha amidst a resurgence of interest in ukiyo-e. Like many of these traditional businesses, the woodblock print craft was passed down through generations, and the Oedo Mokuhansha company was formed by descendents of an Edo era publisher. These are nice early prints of the highest quality standards and an excellent choice if you are looking for fine old woodblock reprints.
Snow at New Year Dawn at Susaki - Beautiful winter landscape of Susaki with the sun rising at dawn on New Year's Day. Two figures make their way across an arched bridge in the foreground, the orange sun spreading a rosy glow along the horizon. The ground is covered in fresh snow, offering a picturesque view and a memorable start to a new year. Very nice.
