| Supposing you know a name of Hiroshige Ando(A.D.1797-1858)
who is Ukiyo-e painter, you would be well-versed in
Japanese culture because Hiroshige isn't as famous as
Hokusai and Utamaro. Maybe his art work well give off an
aura of Japan but isn't as impressive as Hokusai e.g.
Kanagawa big wave. Though Hiroshige can not hold a candle
to Hokusai, he is inimitable painter as for depicting
Japanese landscape, which can feel old Japan's nostalgia,
and so Ukiyo-e of Hiroshige has won popularity as well as
Hokusai in Japan. Though it's for some unknown reason,
Hiroshige liked to depict Japanese bridge, and that is
the theme of this folding fan. |
