The series in fact consists of 119 ukiyo-e prints, plus a title page; print 119 is by Hiroshige II &#8211; Hiroshige&#8217;s student and adopted son &#8211; and it is believed that three other works in the series may have been finished by him. All of the prints were created in the oban tateye format: the &#8216;oban&#8217; indicating their size of 39cm x 26cm; the &#8216;tateye&#8217; their portrait orientation.<\/p>\n<p>The series was first published between 1856 and 1859 by\u00a0Uoya Eikichi, and proved so popular that a deluxe edition soon followed. Vincent van Gogh, <a href=\"https:\/\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/2013\/04\/29\/van-gogh-in-paris-the-radicalising-of-a-palette-and-a-brush\/\">who developed a passionate relationship with Japanese woodcuts after moving to Antwerp in November 1885<\/a>, was especially inspired by <strong>One Hundred Famous Views of Edo<\/strong>. His <em>Japonaiserie: Flowering Plum Tree<\/em> and <em>The Bridge in the Rain<\/em> (both 1887) were copies after numbers 30 (<em>Plum Park in Kameido<\/em>)\u00a0and 58 (<em>Sudden Shower over Shin-\u014chashi bridge and Atake<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The first of the prints above is number 78 in Hiroshige&#8217;s series, entitled <em>Tepp\u014dzu and Tsukiji Monzeki Temple <\/em>(<em>&#8216;<i>Shiba Shinmei<\/i><\/em> <em>Z\u014dj\u014dji&#8217;<\/em>).\u00a0Two sails lead the view across the lively water towards the Hongan-ji Temple, set against a pattern of birds and a pink-purple sky.<\/p>\n<p>The second is number 82 in the series, <em>Moon Viewing<\/em> (also called <em>Moon Promontory<\/em>; &#8216;<i>Tsuki no Misaki&#8217;<\/i>), showing a late evening view over the Edo (now Tokyo) Bay. The vibrant green of the room&#8217;s flooring contrasts with the calm water upon which the room looks out; boats are moored, and a full moon rises, crossed by a flock of birds. The remnants of a meal lie on the floor of the room, while a lady changes behind the screen in the corner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3742 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=696%2C1044\" alt=\"Woodcuts3\" width=\"696\" height=\"1044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=370%2C555&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=770%2C1155&amp;ssl=1 770w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=387%2C580&amp;ssl=1 387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A version of this third print appears in various forms across the internet, most frequently attributed to 1870 and with its creator unspecified. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/pictures\/item\/2008660938\/\">The Library of Congress, for instance,<\/a> lists a version under the title <em>Owl and magnolia<\/em> (<em>&#8216;Kobushi ni mimizuku&#8217;<\/em>); noting that its magnolia blossoms are embossed.<\/p>\n<p>The print above is more richly colored, with a green hue, and with its magnolia blossoms a lovely progression of lavender and pink. <a href=\"http:\/\/collections.vam.ac.uk\/item\/O121416\/owl-on-a-flowering-magnolia-woodblock-print-kubo-shunman\/\">The V&amp;A Museum reveals it<\/a> as a work by Kubo Shunman (1757-1820), made around 1800, and an example of surimono &#8211; a genre of woodcut privately commissioned for special occasions, and often featuring poems.
