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 and the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

The trunk and branches of a single old plum tree fill the foreground, cropped so close that they frame the garden beyond, where visitors stroll among blossoming trees under a sky that shades from red to white to green. Hiroshige designed it in 1857 for One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The tree was the famous Garyūbai, the Reclining Dragon Plum, in the garden at Kameido, celebrated for its white flowers and for branches that rooted where they touched the ground. The bold close-up composition and flat bands of colour impressed European painters; Van Gogh made an oil copy in 1887. Impressions are held in print rooms worldwide, and the red sky varies in intensity between printings.

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

Where it works

The red-to-green sky and white blossom bring colour without noise, for a bedroom or reading corner where it can be seen up close. 16×24 in natural wood on a white wall; it pairs with the Moon Pine for a gentle Edo pair.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. 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 Plum Garden at Kameido 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; 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 Plum Garden at Kameido painted, and in what medium?

Plum Garden at Kameido 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?

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 Plum Garden at Kameido we'd choose 16×24.
