Surugacho: Vintage Reproduction Print From Hiroshige's 100 Famous Views of Edo

This is a vintage reproduction offset woodblock print from famous Ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige and his 100 Famous views of Edo. Originally from a set dated from 1974 and produced by Kyodo News Agency in Tokyo. 

Print 9 Surugacho: This picture shows two fine views of Edo- Mt. Fuji seen from hilly Surugacho and Echigoya Draper Shop. Both were favorite subjects of famous ukiyo-e painters of the day. Echigoya started in business in 1683 and became popular in Edo for its motto of "cash payment and reasonable prices." Fun fact- the company still exists today as Mitsui Group, one of the largest corporate organizations in the world. 

Condition: Given age (46 years old), in great condition. Close up photos are provided to show any flaws as well as some of the subtle details Hiroshige added to his art.  Small discoloration spot above and to left of Fuji and some spots at cloudline and right edge of print. 

Dimensions: 9.75" Wide by 14.25" Height

Please note that the paper is thin but high quality and has some light texture to it (it looks and feels like traditional Japanese paper). The size isn't a standard frame size so it will need to be professionally framed to ensure protection and longevity.
