About this work

Artist: Keisai Eisen (1790–1848)
Year: c. 1835–36
Medium: Woodblock print; ink and colour on paper
Original size: 21.8 × 34 cm
Collection: Library of Congress, Washington, DC (impression LCCN 2008660035; many other impressions exist)
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō

Outside a thatched building beside the Kamo Shrine, workers thresh and bundle rice straw, one feeding grain into a wooden winnowing machine while another stoops over the sheaves. Long white banners lettered with the shrine's name hang among the pines at the right, and along the road at the left travellers with sedge hats and shoulder loads walk beside a blue stream under a red band of sky. This is print six of The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō, published by Hōeidō and later Kinjudō, c. 1835–36. Keisai Eisen, who designed it, began the series and Utagawa Hiroshige completed it. Ageo was the fifth station on the Nakasendō, the inland road from Edo to Kyoto; impressions vary in colour and condition.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Teal pines, golden thatch and red banner lettering over a pale road, for a kitchen, dining room or hallway at 24×16 in natural wood. It pairs with Okegawa: View of the Open Plain, the next station's farmyard scene.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×16. Prints at 18×12, 24×16, 36×24 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard; 36×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Ageo: The Kamo Shrine in the public domain?

Yes. Keisai Eisen (1790–1848) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Library of Congress.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 18×12, 24×16 and 36×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Ageo: The Kamo Shrine painted, and in what medium?

Ageo: The Kamo Shrine dates from c. 1835–36 and was made in woodblock print; ink and colour on paper; the original measures 21.8 × 34 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 36×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 24×16 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Ageo: The Kamo Shrine we'd choose 24×16. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
