| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Hiroshige's specialty was landscapes. Note: Information provided for this image in Description (above) is from Museum of Fine Arts, Boston website: http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/seki-the-ancient-barrier-gate-at-suzuka-kodai-suzuka-no-seki-semimaru-from-the-series-the-fifty-three-stations-of-the-t-kaid-road-by-two-brushes-s-hitsu-goj-san-tsugi-536871 Note: "Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - October 12, 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. He was also referred to as Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重) (an irregular combination of family name and art name) and by the art name of Ichiyūsai Hiroshige (一幽斎廣重). … Hiroshige's The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833-1834) and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1858) greatly influenced French Impressionists such as Monet."--Wikipedia. Note: "Nishiki-e (lit. "brocade picture") refers to Japanese multi-colored woodblock printing; this technique is used primarily in ukiyo-e. It was invented in the 1760s...Previously, most prints had been in black-and-white, colored by hand, or colored with the addition of one or two color ink blocks. A nishiki-e print is created by carving a separate woodblock for every color, and using them in a stepwise fashion...in order to create a single complete image."--Wikipedia. Note: "Ōban: a print size [approximately] 10 x 15 inches (25 x 38 cm)."--Masterworks of Ukiyo-e…by Muneshige Narazaki, English translation by John Bester, page 21. Note: "Aiban: a print size [approximately] 9 x 13 inches (23 x 33 cm)."--Masterworks of Ukiyo-e…by Muneshige Narazaki, English translation by John Bester, page 21.
