    Japanese Woodblock print "Clear Weather after Snow" by Utagawa Hiroshige

    8 7/8" × 13 3/4"

    ARTIST: Utagawa Hiroshige
    ORIGINAL: 1832-1833

    Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando) (Japanese, 1797-1858). Kambara, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, ca. 1834 or later. Color woodblock print on paper.

    The paer used in this piece is a little different than my other piece. This piece has a type of rice paper? No framing. When I opened the mat to take pictures, a piece of rice fell out! Ha ha..really.

    This was a free piece when I purchased the lot of art.

    Kameyama and Kanbara (on view nearby) are the only snow scenes in the Fifty-three Stations of the T?kaid? Road series, and both are greatly admired. Kanbara conveys the faint light of a snowstorm, while Kameyama pictures a bright, clear day following a snowfall. Blue shading along the print’s top edge and pink shading at the horizon provide a striking contrast to the snow-laden, monochromatic landscape. Ascending the steep slope, a *daimyo procession approaches the wooden gate outside Kameyama, a castle town presided over by the lord of the Kameyama clan. The soldiers’ blue coats and yellow sedge hats are visible through the snowy trees. Next to the gate, a stone rampart topped by a watchtower serves to fortify the town’s entrance and guard the clan’s stronghold.

    *daimyo
    (in feudal Japan) one of the great lords who were *vassals of the shogun.

    *Vassals
    a holder of land by feudal tenure on conditions of homage and allegiance.

    Here is my other piece:
