An art original.
In sanchogake format (three designs printed on a horizontal sheet and intended to be separated). A fourth panel below gives information about the print in both English and Japanese.
Note in both English and Japanese characters below the framed print: "A reproduction with colour of the original work of Hiroshige, a prominant master of Ukiyo-e possessed by the National Diet Library. It consists of three different parts, a part in the right-hand sheet depicting clematis and titmouse, another in the center broad bell-flowers and kingfisher with haiku: Asatsuyu no wakete ukitatsu kikyo kana, and a left-hand part depicting maples and a small bird, presumably parakeet ... the method is called Sanchogake and only very few of the prints in their original form are found now ..."
Within a gilt frame reminiscent of bamboo.
Presented to the National Library of Scotland by the National Diet Library of Japan.
