| Comments |
Considered by many to be Hiroshige’s finest and most dramatic series.
Faithfully re-printed using colors to emulate Hiroshige’s earlier prints
with much attention to detail.
This wonderful snow scene is a Hiroshige masterwork--with its small temple
perched dramatically at the edge of a cliff. Nice condition. |
