Original Japanese woodblock print attributed to Utagawa Hiroshige, depicting. Yabu Station / Togawa Crossing. From the Kiso Kaido series. This landscape shows travelers crossing a river beneath dramatic trees and distant mountains, rendered with Hiroshige’s signature clarity and atmospheric depth. A classic example of mid-19th-century ukiyo-e landscape design. Guaranteed original Edo-period impression – not a later reproduction. Color, paper tone, and condition verified in hand; no hidden flaws.

HIROSHIGE (1797 – 1858). Series: Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido [Upright]. Medium: Original Period Woodblock Print. Date: 1855; Edo period. Size (H x W): 14.5 x 9.75 (inches); framed to 24 x 19 inches. Publisher: Tsutaya Kichizo (Koeido). Seals: Aratame and date seal. Condition: Very Good color, Very Good to Excellent impression with sharp wood grain in the sky; lightly toned and slight staining, light adhesive residue on reverse edges, as to be expected given the item’s age and history. Provenance: Hatay Stratton Fine Art, Northampton, Massachusetts. Born in Edo as Tokutaro Ando, Hiroshige Utagawa grew up in a minor samurai family. His father belonged to the firefighting force assigned to Edo Castle. It is here that Hiroshige was given his first exposure to art: legend has it that a fellow fireman tutored him in the Kano school of painting, though Hiroshige’s first official teacher was Rinsai. Though Hiroshige tried to join Toyokuni Utagawa’s studio, he was turned away. In 1811, young Hiroshige entered an apprenticeship with the celebrated Toyohiro Utagawa. After only a year, he was bestowed with the artist name Hiroshige. He soon gave up his role in the fire department to focus entirely on painting and print design. During this time he studied painting, intrigued by the Shijo school. Hiroshige’s artistic genius went largely unnoticed until 1832. With the Tokugawa Shogunate relaxing centuries of age-old restrictions on travel, urban populations embraced travel art and Hiroshige Utagawa became one of the most prominent and successful ukiyo-e artists. He also produced kacho-e (bird-and-flower pictures) to enormous success. In 1858, at the age of 61, he passed away as a result of the Edo cholera epidemic. Hiroshige Utagawa’s woodblock prints continue to convey the beauty of Japan and provide insight into the everyday life of its citizens during the Edo period. The appeal of his tender, lyrical landscapes was not restricted to the Japanese audience. Hiroshige’s work had a profound influence on the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists of Europe: Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated with Hiroshige’s daring diagonal compositions and inventive use of perspective, while Van Gogh literally copied two of Hiroshige’s prints from the famous series, 100 Famous Views of Edo in oil paint.
