Description
This is a restored copy of Revelers Returning from the Tori no Machi Festival, an 1857 woodblock print by famed Japanese Edo period Ukiyo-e painter Utagawa Hiroshige, 1797-1858. In this painting a comfortable white Japanese cat with a brown tail sit peacefully curled up on an interior window ledge as it gazes out upon a vast Japanese landscape filled with revelers returning from the Tori no Machi Festival. Mt. Fuji is clearly visible on the horizon to the left.
Utagawa Hiroshige, born Andō Hiroshige, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and for his vertical format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
