About this work

Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858)
Year: 1857
Medium: Woodblock print (nishiki-e), ink and colour on paper
Original size: approx. 37 × 25 cm (ōban)
Collection: Impressions in many collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, New York
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (No. 89)

A branch of the famous Moon Pine at Kan'eiji temple in Ueno curls into a near-perfect circle in the foreground, and through that ring the viewer sees Shinobazu Pond, its Benten shrine on an island and the houses of the far shore. Hiroshige issued the design in the eighth month of 1857 as plate 89 of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The device of looking through a natural frame at a distant view is typical of the series, which repeatedly sets a large near object against a small far one. The original tree was destroyed in a storm in the Meiji era and replanted in 2012. Impressions of the print are held by many museums, including the Brooklyn Museum.

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

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 The Moon Pine at Ueno in the public domain?

Yes. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) 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 Impressions in many collections.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Moon Pine at Ueno painted, and in what medium?

The Moon Pine at Ueno dates from 1857 and was made in woodblock print (nishiki-e), ink and colour on paper; the original measures approx. 37 × 25 cm (ōban).

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
