Catalog ID: 2778
Artist: Ando Hiroshige
Medium: Original Japanese Woodblock Print
Series Title: The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road
Edition: Original
Date: c.1834
Publisher: Hoeido
Reference No.: Royal Academy of Arts, London
Size: 9 -3/4 x 14 -1/2 "
Condition: Very fine
Notes: Deep snow covers the slope of Kanbara in the evening. Fresh flakes falling on the houses, trees, and mountains create a quiet that is broken only by the implied crunch of travelers' footsteps in the snow. This scene is imaginary because records indicate that Hiroshige traveled through Kanbara in the summertime, and such heavy snowfall would be unusual for this area of Japan.
