An eagle hangs in the top half of the sheet, wings spread and talons drawn up, looking down on a snow-covered plain where a few huts stand by the water and Mount Tsukuba shows faintly on the horizon. Hiroshige published the design in 1857 as plate 107 of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Jūmantsubo, the hundred-thousand-tsubo field, was reclaimed marshland east of the city at Fukagawa, known for winter birds. The bird's-eye viewpoint, with the eagle's body cut by the edge of the picture, is one of the series' most daring compositions. It belongs to the winter section of the series.
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
The eagle over a snow-covered plain is spare and wintry, better for a study, hallway or pale bedroom than a warm room. Black or natural wood frame on a white wall at 16×24, where the empty space in the print is part of the effect.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.
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).
