Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)

Two ladies going ashore under the Nihonbashi Bridge, in the background numerous cargo boats, another ferry boat and a row of warehouses on the bank of the Sumida River.

Title: Nihonbashi

Series: Gojûsan tsugi (53 stations), the so-called "Jinbutsu (o. Jimbutsu)-Tôkaidô"

Publisher: (Murataya Ichigorô, Muraichi, Edo)

Date: 1851/52

Size: Vertical Chûban, 22 x 16,8 cm (image)

Very good impression, very good and fresh colours. Unbacked, with good margins, as usually a little bit narrower at left. Mainly in margins a little finger-stained, a little rubbed and soiled, small stains, some tiny binding holes along the right margin of the image, a wormhole at right margin, a tiny wormhole at upper margin. Overall still very good.
Here the first station within this charming and surprisingly rarely (especially in fresh colours) seen-series, which is commonly known as "Jinbutsu-Tôkaidô" (Figure Tokaido) or, after the publisher, "Muraichi-Tôkaidô". Since in this series two images were printed on one sheet of paper, many sheets do not bear any signature, censorship or publisher's marks (as here).
