The Late Edo Period

Saturday, August 13, 2011
Hiroshige stands without equal in the ability to evoke the poetry of daily life amide the Japanese Landscape.



By the River above is a terrific example of his sense of color, composition and light and one of his many hundreds of paintings and woodblocks which include everyday Japanese activities.


On the Rapids is one of the more familiar of his many works of the ocean and the Japanese coastline.


Some of his work has been adapted to needlepoint canvas. It is best translated with silk threads for the more complicated imagery.

But there are others, such as the Bird below which are terrific for beginners who would like a sophisticated project without all the fuss!
