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). Publisher: Takamizawa Monmoto (高見澤版 もんもと). High quality. Made in the exact traditional manner as the original. Date: Shōwa period. *Excellent condition.
