Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketFrogs and Yamabuki Size: 40.0 cm by 18.5 cm (15.75 in by 7.28 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Ando Hiroshige Era: Post-war Price: 10,000 yen (click to see conversions)   Description: This is one of the more uncommon 'pairings' in Hiroshige's vast catalogue of 'kacho-e' (bird-flower images). Designs in this genre commonly use a plant paired with a bird, but as you can see in this example, he has stretched the definition somewhat. The Yamabuki plant (Kerria japonica) has given its name to a color shade in the Japanese palette, and when the ukiyo-e printer is faced with working on this design, he simply goes to his pigment jars, selects a base yellow, and blends it with enough red to make ... 'yamabuki'.    Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
