Hiroshige Night View Woman Kimono River Lantern Edo Moonlight Poster
Hiroshige’s night view of the San’ya canal: a woman in kimono walking beneath stars by moonlit water. Pure Edo-period poetry.
Description
This evocative print from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo shows a young woman in a checkered kimono walking along the river at night, a lantern and distant lights glowing on the water. The starry black sky and blue moonlit water create deep calm. A masterpiece of Japanese night art.
