A Great Japanese Woodblock Print Hiroshige Utagawa Sudden Shower over Ohahi Bridge and Atake Shimotani Uoei Seal (3)

This is one of the most famous Japanese woodblock prints “Sudden Shower over Ohahi Bridge and Atake” from the famous Series “One Hundred Views of Famous Places in Edo” from the famous Edo artist Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858) with Shimotani Uoei seal made in 1950S IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  The exact same woodblock print is displayed in the book "Ukiyo-e 250 Years of Japanese Art” written by Roni Neuer and Susugu Yoshida and published by Mayflower Books USA 1979, page 320.  This woodblock print is a part of a large number of gorgeous, different-styled Japanese woodblock print collections in my family.  We are gradually selling them. The size of this woodblock print is 10 1/4 x 15 3/8 inches.  The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers on the prints.  The four borders (margins) of the woodblock print are intact.  This print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding through can be seen from the back of the Japanese mulberry paper.   The artist’s chop mark is at the lower left corner of the print.  The Shimotani Uoei seal is in the lower left border and two publisher’s censor seals are in the top border.  As far as I can tell there are no defects, foxing, or stains, this woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  I believe this woodblock print is an early Showa’s re-cut made around 1950s.   It is hard to find this kind of beautiful work from Hiroshige in the public nowadays and it is definitely an incredible piece for collecting.  Shipping is $16 dollars anywhere in US via USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking.  International shipping charges are US$33 through airmail WITHOUT insurance, buyers will have to assume all the risks during the mailing.  We do combined shipping.  If more than one item is purchased at the same time, the highest shipping cost will be charged.   (SF27_20221004S_20220921)
