Woodcut By Hiroshige 1st Fifty-Three Stations Of The Tokaido Titled Odawara Sakaku Gawa Publisher Hoeido Framed & Matted
We have two of these woodcuts from the Fifty-Three Stations Of The Tokaido in our fine art collection. They are being sold separately. We have had this piece in our collection since the mid 1960's.
I have reached out to a few experts in 1980. Two specific art galleries that specialize in antique and vintage Japanese woodcuts. Both experts agree in the pieces.
