Local laborers, travelers, and a child gather closely around a bonfire, sharing warmth and conversation. It's a beautiful slice of everyday Edo-period life painted by one the two men who were the first to extensively bring common people into woodblock prints, -the other being Hokusai. The scene is anchored by a sturdy pine. Even though it doesn't give much shelter, because pines are revered by the Japanese for their longevity, steadfastness, and resilience, it brings them much comfort.
Handmade in the Showa period by the best artisans alive at the time. Good impression, bleed and saturation into handmade washi paper.
Condition: Excellent. With high-quality, hand-printed "bokashi" shading gradations. -Will look spectacular when professionally framed.
