Red Plum Blossom in the Moonlight

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.

Comments - Lovely view of a full moon seen through the branches of a flowering red plum tree. The bold calligraphic line work of the branches provides a beautiful contrast with the delicate pink blossoms and the soft bokashi shading of the deep blue sky. A striking design we've never seen in reprint before.

Artist - Hiroshige (1797 - 1858)

Image Size - 8 3/4" x 12 1/4" + margins as shown
