Series; Famous Places in Tokyo

Hiroshige III's Famous Places in Tokyo - Attractive design from a series depicting famous places in Tokyo, published over several years starting in 1868. Hiroshige III includes traditional locations and activities, as well as modern Meiji sights, such as Western style buildings and transportation. These lively scenes are filled with wonderful detail, carefully rendered with vibrant color and soft shading. A great look at the rapid changes taking place in Tokyo during the Meiji era.

Nijubashi, 1893 - Lovely portrait of a beauty crossing the famous Nijubashi or Niju Bridge, from the Imperial Palace, the fortress rendered in soft tones in the background. She looks down with a happy smile, holding her sleeve to her cheek, an umbrella in her other hand. Beautifully detailed with embossed lines to indicate the folds of the black kimono and burnishing on the hair. A charming Meiji era beauty portrait.
