About this work

Year: 1857

Original size: 36.3 × 24.1 cm

A wooden bridge crosses a calm inlet at dusk, with a restaurant building at the right and pines on the banks silhouetted against a red evening sky. In the foreground two women walk along the water's edge toward a waiting boat among the reeds. The print is number ninety-two in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published by Uoya Eikichi, with a censor's seal of the twelfth month of 1857. Mokuboji was a temple on the upper Sumida, and the fields along the Uchigawa inlet beside it grew vegetables for the shogun's table. The red horizon band is printed with a strong bokashi that glows behind the dark trees; 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

Soft green and blue with a red dusk sky, for a bedroom, dining room or study at 24×36 in natural wood. It pairs with View From Massaki of Suijin Shrine, Uchigawa Inlet, and Sekiya, another view of the same inlet.

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

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 Mokuboji Temple and Vegetable Fields on Uchigawa Inlet 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 Library of Congress.

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 Mokuboji Temple and Vegetable Fields on Uchigawa Inlet painted, and in what medium?

Mokuboji Temple and Vegetable Fields on Uchigawa Inlet dates from 1857 and was made in woodblock print; ink and color on paper; the original measures 36.3 × 24.1 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 Mokuboji Temple and Vegetable Fields on Uchigawa Inlet we'd choose 24×36.
