The series in fact consists of 119 ukiyo-e prints, plus a title page; print 119 is by Hiroshige II \u2013 Hiroshige\u2019s student and adopted son \u2013 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 \u2018oban\u2019 indicating their size of 39cm x 26cm; the \u2018tateye\u2019 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\u2019s series, entitled <em>Tepp\u014dzu and Tsukiji Monzeki Temple <\/em>(<em>\u2018<i>Shiba Shinmei<\/i><\/em> <em>Z\u014dj\u014dji\u2019<\/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>; \u2018<i>Tsuki no Misaki\u2019<\/i>), showing a late evening view over the Edo (now Tokyo) Bay. The vibrant green of the room\u2019s 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&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=370%2C555&ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=770%2C1155&ssl=1 770w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Woodcuts3.jpg?resize=387%2C580&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>\u2018Kobushi ni mimizuku\u2019<\/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&A Museum reveals it<\/a> as a work by Kubo Shunman (1757-1820), made around 1800, and an example of surimono \u2013 a genre of woodcut privately commissioned for special occasions, and often featuring poems.
