Description: This print is from a set of reproductions of 25 of Hiroshige's lesser-known prints, given the English title "Rare Publication: Selected Works by Hiroshige" by the publisher, O-Edo Mokuhansha. Please visit our Collection page where you can see our own preserved copy of this entire set.

A small bird perches on a stem between colourful blooms in this vivid fan-print (uchiwa-e) by Hiroshige. The deep red background, unusual in an ukiyo-e print, is particularly striking, and the use of "flat" colours give the work a modern feel. It is unclear if there are any extant original prints of the image.
