{"product_id":"hiroshige-hida-province-kago-watashi-basket-ferry-173a","title":"Hiroshige, Hida Province (Kago Watashi) Basket Ferry","description":"\u003cp\u003eA narrow river cuts through a mountain gorge, passengers suspended mid-crossing in a rope-drawn basket ferry while mist softens the cedar-clad peaks above — a scene of both quiet tension and extraordinary natural grandeur. This woodblock-derived composition belongs to Hiroshige's celebrated survey of Japan's provinces, a series in which the Edo-period master documented the landscapes, customs, and travel routes of nineteenth-century Japan with a poet's economy of line and a colorist's instinct for seasonal atmosphere. Hiroshige's Hida Province views are among the most dramatic in that body of work, capturing the vertiginous mountain terrain of what is now Gifu Prefecture with characteristic balance between documentary precision and lyrical restraint. Presented at a generous scale that allows the full sweep of the gorge and the delicate figural detail to register simultaneously, this piece rewards close looking and suits a collector drawn to the long tradition of East Asian landscape or the broader history of printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 30 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is offered as shown.
