Original post-quake 1920s TAKAHASHI HIROAKI SHOTEI Japanese Woodblock “COLD WINTER WIND” Art Piece. The artwork measures 15″x6.5″. The frame measures 19.5×11. The piece appears to be faded from UV light. The background is still black but other colors are not bright but rather muted/pale. It’s in a vintage frame with original glass (some scuffs on the outer edges of the frame). The cardboard to which the art was attached, however, was replaced because it has disintegrated. The image has been placed on a vintage sketching/drafting paper using a very light coat of mucilage just at the top to keep it in place the way it was found. The original cardboard is enclosed behind the white layer. The frame has an old sticker from the frame shop in Middletown NY (underneath the outer white layer). It’s a wonderful piece of Japanese culture that will look fantastic on display. Please message if you need more pictures or have questions. The package will be insured.

Not sure of the date of this original woodblock print by Hiroshige called Evening Snow, Kambara, from the series the fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido. If I had to guess by the other things I bought I would say 1940’s to 1950’s but could be the 1930’s. Lots of newer reprints of this picture but this is not new but vintage I would say mid century. I have owned this for over 30 years. It has sat in a drawer. My wife and I collect prints and paintings thinking we would open a shop when we retired. This was bought together with many prints in the Philadelphia area. What very interesting about this woodblock is the size. You don’t see many if any this size. 5 3/8 inches by 3 3/8. Condition is really good. Would look really good in a nice frame on anyone wall. Kanbara-juku (, Kanbara-juku) was the fifteenth of the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido. It is located in what is now part of the Shimizu-ku ward of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is one of four former post stations located in Shimizu-ku. The painting is mostly famous for being used for Weezer’s 1996 album Pinkerton, which uses the painting for the album cover. It is a rather strange composition, as Kanbara is located in a very temperate area warmed by the Kuroshio current offshore, and even a light snowfall is extremely rare. In Japan (as everywhere), many villages in different parts of the country have the same name. Hiroshige intended his print to represent the Kanbara which was the 15th post station on the Tokaido Road, which ran from Edo and Kyoto. But in creating his portfolio The 53 stations of the Tokaido Road, apparently he often relied on existing prints and guidebooks. It seems likely that he mistakenly used an image of a very different Kanbara: the one depicted here is probably a village in the very mountainous Gunma prefecture near the resort town of Karuizawa. It is famous as the village buried during the August 1783 eruption of Mt. Asama, which killed 466 people.
