Japanese, 19th century. A lifetime woodblock in colors by Ando Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858). Of vertical nature, depicting bird and branches, monochrome blue near upper perimeter, signed and marked in both l.r. and l.l.; 15 x 5.25 in. Additional label reading: The Genuiness of this print is guaranteed by S.M. Shiba, Miyanoshita, as attested by his seal; similar to the back of the lower corner of this print Collected by Mary E. Johnston, Cincinnati, OH, responsible for gifting a major post-impressionist Collection to the Cincinnati Art Museum. It stands to reason that Johnston would have gravitated toward Japanese woodblocks, given their influence on the Impressionist movement.
