Ibasenban Fan Painting No.16 Hiroshige, Tonegawa River in the Eastern Metropolis

Ukiyoe Edo fan paintings (nishikie, Yamato-type) were produced by the publisher Ibasen as multicolor printed fan paintings (uchiwa-e) by Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi, master artists of the Utagawa school. Ibasen printed and produced this work based on this only existing woodblock print.

This is a scene of the Tone River on a moonlit night when flocks of geese are flying overhead, and the waves are quiet. The quiet scene of the Tone River without flowers or autumn leaves evokes a sense of "wabi-sabi.
