Utagawa Hiroshige

Plum tree with white blossoms

Ōban. Series: Meisho Edo hyakkei. Title: Kameidō umeyashiki. Plum tree with white blossoms; visitors in the background with more blossoming trees. Signed: Hiroshige ga. (Publisher: Uoya Eikichi. Censor: aratame. Date: 11/1857.) Good impression and colours, bokashi, restored spots, margins trimmed off, in mat

In this print dark grey bokashi was added to the sky. This indicates a later edition. However, on the big branches of the plum tree in the foreground grey bokashi was applied, as well, which was omitted in very late editions.
