Early edition Japanese Edo period woodblock print titled “Snowfall at Shimasaku in Iki Province." The image is No. 68 from the series “Views of Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces” by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) dated 1856. Signed within a red cartouche at the left. The title and subtitle cartouches are at the upper right. The seal of the publisher Koshimuraya Heisuke is at the lower right. This is one of Hiroshige's most sought-after snow scenes with a bokashi cloud in the sky. Paper: 14” x 9 1/2” (image: 13 3/8” x 8 3/4”). Good overall condition with margins evident. The print is not backed and the baren marks are clearly visible. There is overall soiling and wear, particularly to the margins.
