UKIYO-E
JAPANESE WOODBLOCK
ART PRINT
"In the Kameido Tenjin Shrine Compound" (Kameido Tenjin Keidai 亀戸天神境内)
by Hiroshige Utagawa, from the "One Hundred Famous Views Of Edo" series, 1857.
One of the most famous prints from one of the most famous woodblock print series ♡
Claude Monet's famous Japanese garden in Giverny was designed after this print - and the curve of the famous bridge is instantly recognisable!
The Kameido Tenjin Shrine cited in the title is not actually present in the picture, instead its presence is indicated by its "taikobashi" drum bridge, recognisable by its very specific flame-shaped copper ornaments on the railings, here offset by the light-cloured sky. The lush cascade of the wisteria blossoms in the foreground is admired by the passers-by, who stop one by one to gaze from the distant sidewalk decorated by bright red paper lanters. The deep hues of the pines and the river and the fast flickering of the swallows here and there above the water add to the feeling of a warmth on this summer's day...

Really good quality reproduction of a classic Ukiyo-e, based on a better original: A) One can see the grain of the wooden plates that were used in the original printing. B) The colours of the real ukiyo-e vary from batch to batch, for this reproduction an original with intensive colours was used.
You get what Strand offers, an above-average quality modern reprint on very sturdy paper at a competitive price. Fast delivery in protective packaging.
Two really minor criticisms:
- sadly, the typical outer edge with four quarter circle notches in the print's corners is not reproduced
- the reproduction is in semi gloss paint, totally matte would be great.
