Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketHiroshige Tanzaku Collection Vol.1&2 Size: 50.0cm by 26.5cm (19.69 in by 10.43 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [INC] ? Designer: Ando Hiroshige Era: Post-war | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ¥ 163,000$ 1280.00£ 1100.00€ 1285.00   Description: The tanzaku prints in this set, all designed by Hiroshige and probably originally produced between 1830 and 1844, were reproduced by Takamizawa in the 1970s. Many of Hiroshige's tanzaku are kachō-ga - illustrations of birds and flowers - while less often they feature landscapes. While in the Edo period tanzaku prints almost always included a classical poem that somehow reflected or interacted with the image portrayed, a few of the reproduction prints in this set have been printed without poems. The format of tanzaku allowed artists to show off their design skills by requiring them to arrange a poem with other elements in an aesthetically pleasing way on a small canvas. A variety of printing techniques including bokashi gradation and kara-zuri blind-embossing were often used in these prints, adding to their beauty as 'snapshots' of nature. 24 prints were published in two volumes by Takamizawa, and this item is a full set of Vol.1 and Vol.2, which consists of 12 prints each. The dimension displayed is the box size, and the prints are in three sizes: 34 x 12cm, 37 x 12 cm, and 38 x17 cm. If you would like to know more about this set, you can see hi-resolution photographs of the prints in the Mokuhankan Collection copy.
