Museum-Quality Hiroshige Japanese Woodblock Print - Yokkaichi Tokaido Teahouse Rare Find

Museum-Quality Hiroshige Japanese Woodblock Print - Yokkaichi Tokaido Teahouse Rare Find Price: $450 Description: Available for acquisition is a highly rare and investment-grade authentic Japanese woodblock print by the world-renowned Ukiyo-e landscape master Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), from his legendary series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō." This is a remarkably rare find for fine art collectors: this beautifully composed scene captures the bustling station of Yokkaichi, showcasing travelers resting by an open-front roadside teahouse, a large sacred Shinto Torii gate, a monumental stone lantern, and a pilgrim traveling by horse. The reverse side shows clear, heavy ink bleed-through directly inside the fibrous handmade paper, confirming its traditional hand-pulled woodblock production. • Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) • Series: The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi) • Subject: Station 44 - Yokkaichi: Torii Gate and Roadside Teahouse • Dimensions: Full sheet measures approximately 13" Wide x 8.75" High (exactly as documented on the measuring scale tape). Condition Notes: Presented in good vintage condition. Please look closely at the high-resolution images and zoom in to inspect the edges and face for imperfections. The white paper margins show natural handmade characteristics, slight corner curling, minor edge wear, and light handling characteristics from age. The pricing has been explicitly determined and optimized to fully account for these vintage edge characteristics. The central artwork remains exceptionally clean, beautifully pigmented, and highly detailed. An exceptional investment piece for serious collectors of historical Japanese prints, Ukiyo-e art, or clean minimalist traditional decor. Final sale: No returns or refunds. No holds; first come, first served. Local pickup only – Sonoma, CA. Cash only.
