Original HIROSHIGE Japanese Woodblock Print Tokaido Moonlight Edo Akasaka 1830s. This beautiful original woodblock print’Akasaka’ is number 37 from Hiroshige’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido. It is the only moonlit woodblock in the entire series and shows the village with people and a horse under a full moon and trees. This series-published by Sanoki-was known as the Kyoka edition due to the humorous poem on each woodblock. The woodblock is unframed. The woodblock measures approximately 8 1/2 inches x 6 1/2 inches (1/2 block Tokaido). The woodblock is in very good condition with strong colors and good bleed through. There is a little very light yellowing down the lower right edge. One pin prick hole in the center top which looks to be a fault in the paper. The reverse has some old tape to the edges.
