〔江戸勝景〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 川正 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, attributed to Hiroshige, the Edo-period artist, published by Kawamasa, showing a famous view of Edo for a general audience of print collectors. The colour print shows a long low tiled-roof compound with a walled green road where travellers in blue and red robes walk alongside pigs and a sedan-style palanquin, with flat pastel colour, strong diagonal layout and clear figure silhouettes that suggest a simple, cropped composition for a designer.
