Hiroshige's ōtanzaku (large tanzaku print) "Falcon, Pine, and New Year Sunrise" was originally published by Sanoya Kihei (also known as Kikakudo) in the mid-1830s. The hawk, the rising sun, and the pine are all representative of the new year in Japan. If this symbolism isn't enough for the viewer, the poem in the upper-right reads, "When the sun first rose in the New Year, there were no boundaries in the nation" (translation by the Rijksmuseum, p. 29 of "Hiroshige and the Utagawa school : Japanese prints, c. 1810-1860" (Amsterdam: Rijksprentenkabinet, Rijksmuseum, 1984)).
