Artist: Ando Hiroshige
Medium: Original Japanese Woodblock Print
Series Title: Fan Print (uchiwa-e)
Edition: Original
Date: c.1830s
Publisher: Soemon
Reference No.: Royal Academy of Arts, London
Size: 8 -3/4 x 11 -3/4 "
Condition: Very fine
Notes: Autumn fowers and morning glories illuminated under a bright full moon. The blue bokashi (color grading) around the moon emphasizes the poetic atmosphere of this work. Along with landscape print, Hiroshige is also known for his masterworks of kacho-e (prints of birds and fowers), especially in uchiwa-e (fan print) format. Uchiwa-e were produced to be mounted as fans, so only limited number of works have survived today. Most of the surviving works are believed to be originally from sample books owned by fan sellers and tend to be in early impression and good condition.
