Autumn Moon on the Tama River

Series; Eight Views of the Environs of Edo

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.

Autumn Moon on the Tama River - Lovely view of fisherman along the shore of the Tama River. The delicate branches of willow trees frame the scene, with a full moon shining overhead in the pale evening sky. A beautiful scene with soft shading in the water and silver mica on the moon. A great Hiroshige landscape.
