Artist: Hiroshige Utagawa Ii, Toyokuni Utagawa Iv
Date: 1849
Museum: Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art (Milwaukee, United States)
Technique: Woodblock Print
In this print, Hiroshige combined two popular woodblock print genres of famous places and beautiful women. The fashionably dressed woman in this print stands at the western edge of Shinobazu Pond in northern Edo with the buildings of Kaneiji Temple visible in the background. The print was originally the left sheet of a triptych; the two additional sheets also contain a single woman each.- This description was written by art historian Hilary K. Snow, PhD.
