拍品描述

woodblock print, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei), signed Hiroshige ga (Pictured by Hiroshige), published by Uoya Eikichi, 11th month 1857 Vertical oban: 34.4 x 22.8 cm., 11⅜ by 7½ in. Hiroshige’s Plum Estate, Kameido was famously copied by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) in his Flowering Plum Orchard (after Hiroshige) in 1887. The print was no doubt striking then as it is now for its close-cropped composition and unusual vantage point. Behind the branches and foliage, visitors to the plum garden near the Tenman Shrine at Kameido admire the fragrant blooms. The placement of the wood sign to the upper left enhances the feeling of depth by receding into the picture plane cut off by the border margins.
