The inspiration for this bookmark is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige - Asakusa ricefields and torinomachi festival, no. 101 from one hundred famous views of Edo. As an artist, he captured time and mood with brilliant minimalism - a dawn sky, a solitary cat, rice fields, mt. Fuji in the distance, and a woman's clothing. And he is witty, with a foreground of wallpaper of birds and background of flying birds. solid brass, electro-plated with non-tarnishing silver finish, giclee print dimensions: approx. 1.5 w x 3 l packaged in an acetate sleeve with provenance card.
