Forty-eight Selected Views of Edo, 1892 - Not much is known or published about this unusual and rare series, "Forty-eight Selected Views of Edo," which features some of the finest designs from Hiroshige's original "One Hundred Views of Edo" series. Published in 1892 by Kodama Matashichi, the series includes striking prints produced with the original blocks, and in some cases, the addition of new blocks. This memorial series includes some of Hiroshige's most memorable images, many of which are now hard to find from the original edition. Beautifully detailed with soft shading and fine line work, prints from the "Selected Views" are a great opportunity to acquire these classic Hiroshige subjects.

Oumayagashi - A quiet evening scene on the west bank of the Sumida river. The dark trunk and leaves of a nearby evergreen tree hang into the scene with the light grey evening sky hanging overhead. A quiet and almost contemplative scene with fine coloring, a nice choice for display.
