Small Bird On Sakura Branch Hiroshige Fine Art Magnet

Small Bird On Sakura Branch Hiroshige Fine Art Magnet

歌川広重 Utagawa Hiroshige, c. 1835 Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 – October 12, 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. He was born in 1797 and named "Ando Tokutaro" in the Yayosu barracks, just east of Edo Castle in the Yaesu area of Edo (present-day Tokyo). His father was Ando Gen'emon, a hereditary retainer (of the doshin rank) of the shogun. An official within the fire-fighting organization whose duty was to protect Edo Castle from fire, Gen'emon and his family, along with 30 other samurai, lived in one of the 10 barracks; although their salary of 60 koku marked them as a minor family, it was a stable position, and a very easy one — Professor Seiichiro Takahashi characterizes a fireman's duties as largely consisting of revelry. The 30 samurai officials of a barracks, including Gen'emon, oversaw the efforts of the 300 lower-class workers who also lived within the barracks. A few scraps of evidence indicate he was tutored by another fireman who taught him in the Chinese-influenced Kano school of painting. Legend has it that Hiroshige determined to become a ukiyo-e artist when he saw the prints of his near-contemporary, Hokusai. (Hokusai published some of his greatest prints, such as Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, in 1832—the year Hiroshige devoted himself full-time to his art.) From then to Hokusai's death in 1849, their landscape works competed for the same customers. This print shows a small bird on a cherry tree (sakura) branch. From the series Wakan roei shu.

Friendly and helpful with my design issues on original order. Shipping was prompt as promised. Excellent workmanship. Product was actually better than I expected. I will be ordering aging in the near future. Picture was exactly as I wanted. Colours were perfect.

Instead of sending a Christmas card, our family creates a fridge magnet with Zazzle, and sends these to friends and family. These fun items live on the fridge for many years, and long outlast the poor Christmas card which ends up in the recycling with the wrapping paper on Boxing Day. The colours are vibrant, printing is clear. There are plenty of fonts and colours to choose from to create a personalized item.
