Asakusa Rice Fields and Torinomachi Festival - Utagawa Hiroshige Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Hiroshige lets a cat own the best seat in Edo. His Asakusa Rice Fields and Torinomachi Festival, carved and printed in 1857 for One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, frames winter through a slatted Yoshiwara window. The white cat sits with its back to us. Its gaze runs straight to Mount Fuji.
Printers wiped the woodblocks by hand to pull a bokashi gradient from inky Prussian blue to a coral glow. Across the fields, specks of worshippers trail toward the Day of the Rooster market, where merchants sold kumade bamboo rakes for scooping up fortune. One of those charms rests on the green tatami as tiny hairpins. Geese drift in a loose chevron above bare trees.
A towel slumps over a blue-patterned porcelain bowl. A chrysanthemum-printed screen edges the left border in sage gray. Japonisme collectors in Paris would soon hunt this ukiyo-e series, and Van Gogh copied its plum blossoms in oil. Hiroshige could never reflect on that blossoming reverence for his work. In many ways, he gave his last thoughts to a patient cat, tail curled, watching Edo turn toward evening.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
