SOLD. -THANK-YOU!

Hiroshige was one of the most prolific artists in Japanese history. Since ancient times, the Japanese have considered kachō-ga (or kachō-e) an elegant expression of nature through art. The pieces also contain ancient symbolism. Here, the peony is auspicious for elegance and refinement (they consider it king of the flowers). A hummingbird is good luck for industriousness and happiness. Publisher: Oedo Mokuhansha – Carver: Endo. High quality. Strong reflective mica pigments.
