<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 34138, member: 35&quot;]By accident, I saw a box of stuff in DD&#039;s car trunk.&nbsp; &quot;What&#039;s that for?&quot; I asked.&nbsp; She said the box was destined for the thrift.&nbsp; On top of miscellaneous stuff was a framed Hiroshige woodblock.&nbsp; &quot;No that!&quot; I cried and rescued it from the box.&nbsp; DD just laughed.&nbsp; On the back (I forgot to take a pic) is a label in English and Japanese:&nbsp; Uchida ARt Co., Ltd., Kyoto Handicraft Center.&nbsp; Woodblock Print, &quot;Shono, one of the Tokaido 53 stations,&quot; by Hiroshige Ando (1797-1858), # 46 Shono (Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture).&nbsp; A sudden shower catches travelers on the road.&nbsp; Bamboo bushes are seen dimly through the rain.&nbsp; This picture is called one of the best depicting a rain scene.&nbsp; Palanquin-carriers are hurrying to a shelter.&nbsp; Looking at the picture, we feel as if we hear the sound of the pelting rain.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was framed (nicely, I think) in Vancouver, BC and inscribed above the labels &quot;Japan 1982&nbsp; George and Elsie, Thanks for your generosity, Love, Gary.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimensions:&nbsp; frame:&nbsp; slightly larger than 12&quot; x 10&quot; and the image I reckon to be about 8&quot; x 5.5&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Likely a modern reprint, but, in my estimation, way too good for the thrift!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]8597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
