A spreading pine stands on a point of land jutting into a deep blue pond, with white birds flying low over the water and green wooded hills beyond. At the lower right a teahouse with a yellow thatched roof sits by the shore, and travellers on horseback and on foot pass along the road. The print is number one hundred and ten in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published by Uoya Eikichi, with a censor's seal of the second month of 1856. Senzoku Pond lay south-west of Edo, and its pine was named after a legend that the monk Nichiren hung his robe on it while resting by the water. Hiroshige gives most of the sheet to the water, printed in graded blues; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Deep pond blue with green hills and a yellow teahouse roof, for a study, bedroom or bathroom at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with The "Armour-Hanging Pine" at Hakkeizaka Bluff, another pine with a legend.
