Hiroshige II - Iwatake gathering at Kumano in Kishū[edit]

Original - Kishū kumano iwatake tori ("Iwatake mushroom gathering at Kumano in Kishū") from Hiroshige II's Shokoku meisho hyakkei ("100 Famous Views of Japan" or "100 Famous Views of the Provinces")
Not for voting - the unrestored original. The publisher's stamp on the left is actually incomplete - it cuts off with the left edge of the paper - and also unbalances the design a bit - so I cropped it out of the final version, though an uncropped version is also uploaded if anyone wants to play with it.
Reason
A very high quality Ukiyo-e print, historically, sociologically, gastronomically, and artistically interesting.

  • Comment - Feel free to tweak the capitalisation in the translations - it can be a little ambiguous with these Japanese description-names. Also, the lines in the image are the paper grain, for anyone not familiar with Ukiyo-e. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: High resolution and quality. Has encyclopedic value as an example of the artist's work, and as a helpful look at the way Umbilicaria esculenta has been used in the past. J Milburn (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
