nicely visible woodgrain; highly detailed carving.

Excellent. Fresh, strong colors. (Light toning; few scattered marks.) |

Comments |
A spectacular fireworks image--one of Hiroshige's most dramatic designs.
Faithfully re-printed using colors to
emulate Hiroshige’s earlier prints with much attention to detail.
Exceptional condition due to Muller's archival
storage. Rarely seen. |
