A Rare Japanese Woodblock Print by Hiroshige from Series 69 Stations of the Kisokaido Ca. 14 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins. (36.8 x 24.2 cms) The series is, with the celebrated 53 Stations of the Tokaido, Hiroshige’s master piece. There are 70 designs in the series, 23 of which are by Eisen. The present design is no. The series was published ca. 1835-38 by Hoeido for the first part and Kinjudo for the second part, the present example is by Kinjudo. Details of the series and design can be found on Google. The present example has very good colour, (the red seals are a little faded), and impression and is an early printing. The right and left margins have been trimmed off and replaced. There is a repair adjacent to the right hand edge on the yellow colour and possibly another on the grey ground just above and to the left of the signature. The print has been lightly backed, probably some time ago in Japan as the minor worm track at the bottom left has also gone through the backing. As can clearly be seen on the photographs there is light foxing, particularly on the yellow area to the right and on the margins. There condition problems can be rectified by an expert restorer. Viewing the print against the light does not reveal any other significant repairs. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PRINTING NOT A FACSIMILE OR REPRINT. PLEASE INSPECT PHOTOS CAREFULLY.
