Description

Discover a captivating original 19th century Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, measuring 14 1/4 x 9 3/4. This exquisite piece depicts 'Moon at Ryogoku Bridge' and is part of the 'Famous Places in Edo' series. Please note, the print shows signs of age with notable creases, fading, and some mica missing in the moon. The vibrant blues and pinks have significantly faded, especially in the moon's reflection, and multiple creases, including a vertical crease to the right of the moon, are visible. The reverse side displays heavy toning, staining, and some color bleed-through, while foxing is evident in the sky area. Despite these condition issues, the print retains its original margins and confirms the authenticity with the artist's signature and the publisher's mark. A true collector's item from one of Japan's last great ukiyo-e masters.
