Description: This image is from the massive series "Edo Meisho Hyakkei" (100 Views of Famous Places in Edo) created by Hiroshige. It depicts a location still present today - a temple in Ueno Park built in (rough) imitation of the famous one in Kyoto with a high platform.

The tree we see - with the curled branch - has long since died, but has recently been 'created' anew by the park gardeners, although on a much smaller scale.

A post-war reproduction from the O-Edo Mokuhan-sha Company.

This print has the appearance of ‘aged’ prints - furubi.

There are some foxing spots mostly at the margins of this print. Also, there is roughness at the left margin on the front side and a race of removal of glue on the backside.
