While best-known for his popular travel series, including The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, Utagawa Hiroshige also produced a large body of kachoga, or literally “bird and flower pictures.” Because these were not printed in the massive quantities of his landscape subjects, fewer have survived. Typically printed in long, narrow formats and accompanied by haiku or kyoka poems, they benefited from advancements that enabled the application of richer palettes and use of gradients to aid in the representation of texture, perspective and atmospheric effects.
Sparrows and Camellias in Snow is accompanied by the first two lines of the poem Inquiry of a Stork by Hakurakuten, which reads as follows: “Crows and storks fight over something to eat / and sparrows over where to sleep, / You stand there all alone by the pond, / the wind blows and snow piles up.”
Product Information
Expect crisp detail and vivid color from our giclée process fine art prints. We use archival pigment inks on cotton fiber paper to achieve a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Unlike posters, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.How to Frame
Historical artworks were produced in whatever shapes and sizes best suited the artists and their patrons, and these rarely correspond to the proportions of modern, mass-produced frames. Most reproductions sold on the web are cropped to an arbitrary standard, compromising the integrity of the original artwork. We solve this by using accent borders to make up any differences in proportion.Framing may be as simple as inserting the print into a standard size frame with the borders showing. In many cases, our customers choose to have them matted. Borders allow space for framers to mount the print while covering little, if any, of the artwork. Our images are sized to provide desirable mat widths in common frames.
Sizes 9” x 12”, 12” x 16”, and 16” x 20” are designed to be matted in larger frames, such as 11” x 14”, 16” x 20” and 20” x 24”, respectively. Larger prints may be matted in frames of equal size, the borders corresponding to the shape of the mat. Where the artwork is unusually square or narrow, other sizes may be preferred.
If our sizing does not meet your requirements, we provide customization free of charge. Please contact us to discuss the details.
