Japanese Wood Block Painting - Utagawa Hiroshige - Snowy Evening at Kambara Station ca. 1833–34
*This edition is more than likely 1920-1950s.*
This scene is almost entirely imaginary because it rarely snows in this area.
Outside frame 16 3/4" x 12 3/4"
Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1797–1858 Tokyo (Edo))
My mother was Japanese. She passed away earlier this year. Several years ago she gave me this painting. It hung in the house for as long as I remember.
Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando) (Japanese, 1797-1858). Kambara, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, ca. 1834 or later. Color woodblock print on paper.
Utagawa Hiroshige, born Ando Hiroshige, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.

Thank you, thatz put me on the right track.. A Snowy Evening at Kambara Station
This is a special Japanese early 20th century wood block print, probably from a famous artist.
I'm not an expert in this type of category, but my reference material shows a similar artist in this style of winter scenes, Kawase Hasui, the marks may be different than yours. Here is one example:

Someone that can read the marks could be more precise. There are hundreds of Japanese woodblock artists and artworks. Thanks for posting.
Well, I'm glad you got the right information. The 53 stations of the Tokaido series by Hiroshige. Great!
Thank you. Originals of this painting have hung in the Met and Brooklyn museum.
cant see the quality (Bad eyes ) normal copy is about 60 dollars , a rather well a good one will do 1200 dollar depends also on the paper the good stuff is Echizen kizuki hosho washi
Actually the modern reproductions sell for $60-200.
One of his other original works sold at Sotheby's for like $5,000. ($3,750 gbp)
wtf is this a sort of showa unsodo edition , ( i counted the footprints in the snow) can,t see which edition , maybe something around 1950, there are several editions
well actually it have to datamine this in japanese
tokaida gojusan tsugi no uchi
or more specific kanbara yoru no yuki , compare with the museum and then you can see the mark ain,t 19 ct
ok what ever you want , you know what you did you compared the mark, its Christies in stead of Sotesby with your its the same mark but of difference , i datamined a few hundred
your piece does,not have a counter marking on the left !
addendum different design
Ok I think I understand what you're saying. That mine is a later edition, which makes sense..doesnt look 18 century. I know mom had it for at least 50 years.
And I'm not an art expert or fine art collector, rather just an average collector. So I appreciate your knowledge. I wish I learned to read Japanese, but mom didnt have that kind of patience.
And I was just searching for pieces sold. And it was Sotheby's I saw...

To be fair....My previous comment said... one of his Originals sold for 5000. I did not assume or state that mine was an original.
the point this ,, i do it gladly for you you no sweat , because art is my life i got to compare all the japanese , and a slighty difference is an other edition, the size is important for the value ( f,i oban size ) then you to compare the seals if present
then i have to look what they could it be a adashi, ( a cheap knock off) i cant see the paper behind my laptop , otherwise Echizen kizuki hosho washi narrows it down
i have to narrow it down because there are tenthousands of them
so i narrowed it down with the criterium is it worth looking for because prints after 1909 won,t do much , i think this is showa 1920-1950
actually for the real experts is i think why the f...is the Takeuchi ( zeal) considering the dating if i am right
still enough value left
correction , why is the seal missing ?
I don't know enough to argue. And it doesn't matter to me. It has value because I appreciate it and enjoy it and bnb it reminds me of my mother.
Just like the samurai era coins that she left me.... they have little monetary value. But they also remind me of my mother so they are Priceless to me.
Apostata ...I see you must have missed my chinese? statue in posted awhile back. Please take a look and see if you have any opinions on it. I thought it was natural chicken Blood soap Stone, but what do I know ...Thanks
