About This Design

Cranes Minowa Kanasugi Mikawashima Hiroshige Fine

Cranes Minowa Kanasugi Mikawashima Hiroshige Fine

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 – October 12, 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. The title of this print lists three different villages northwest of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters. The names that appear first probably represent the nearest places in the view. This would mean that it is a scene looking from Minowa and Kanasugi toward Mikawashima, to the west or northwest. Mikawashima was where the shogun's Crane Hunt occurred almost every year during the winter months, when cranes migrated to Japan. The auspicious nature of the crane made it an important ceremonial gift. Aside from the one or two birds taken on each hunt, the cranes of Mikawashima were carefully protected, as Hiroshige has depicted: the figure in the background is carrying buckets filled with rice with which to feed them. From the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Vintage beautiful elegant artistic Asian ukiyoe animal and landscape spiritual religious Shinto and Buddhist nature fine art woodblock print.

I purchased two sets of my own cards for a facebook giveaway. They were great quality and the winners of the giveaway were very pleased with them, saying they did not want to send them out but keep them for their own. .
