About this work

Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858)
Year: 1856
Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper
Original size: 34.7 × 22.4 cm
Collection: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (impression RP-P-1968-299; many other impressions exist)
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Snow falls thickly over the Fukagawa lumberyards, where tall logs lean in stacks on the left and long timbers float in the channels below, worked by men with poles. A dog walks through the snow, sparrows fly through the grey sky, and at the bottom of the sheet the top of a large umbrella fills the foreground. The print is number one hundred and six in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published by Uoya Eikichi, with a censor's seal of the eighth month of 1856. Fukagawa was the centre of Edo's timber trade, and logs were stored in its waterways. The snow is printed as small reserved flakes across a dark grey sky; impressions vary in colour and condition.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Snowy whites, soft greys and pale blue water with a warm yellow umbrella, for a living room, study or hallway at 24×36 in natural wood. It pairs with Sanjusangendō Hall in Fukagawa, its neighbour across the water.

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

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is The Fukagawa Lumberyards 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 Rijksmuseum.

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; 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 The Fukagawa Lumberyards painted, and in what medium?

The Fukagawa Lumberyards dates from 1856 and was made in woodblock print; ink and color on paper; the original measures 34.7 × 22.4 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For The Fukagawa Lumberyards we'd choose 24×36.
