Series; Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces
A Fuji Arts Special Offer Auction
Totomi Province: Lake Hamana, Kanzan Temple in Horie and the Inasa-Horie Inlet - Terrific panoramic view of Lake Hamana and the Inasa-Horie Inlet in Totomi Province. Fishermen are at work on the water, and river and pedestrians make their way along the sandy beach towards Horie. At upper right, Kanzan Temple is nestled on the mountainside among clusters of pine trees, a site famous for its beautiful views in all directions. A lovely design, beautifully colored with fine bokashi shading and handsome wood grain impression in the water.
Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today.
