The scene depicts Muryoin Temple in the rain, with dramatic perspective and birds in flight against an orange evening sky. This is a fine example of 19th-century Japanese woodblock artistry. Artist: Hiroshige II (Utagawa Shigenobu). Title: Muryoin Temple in Rain. Medium: Woodblock print on paper. Origin: Japan, late 19th century (Meiji period). 14″ x 7″ (see photos with measuring tape). Condition: Some expected age toning and edge wear; overall image well-preserved with strong color. Please review photos for condition. This woodblock retains its original charm and presents beautifully despite age. Works by Hiroshige II are highly collectible as they carry forward the tradition of his master, Hiroshige I, with a distinctive atmospheric style.
