Text in Japanese and English. - O-tanzaku - (Unregistered) - Camellias in heavy snowfall would ordinarily be depicted against a light-gray ground suggestive of a somber winter sky. Hiroshige, however, has boldly drawn the snow in white reserve against a clear light-blue ground, with the result that the green and pink of the camellias and the white of the snow make a luminous contrast. Employing a soft brush style which avoids the use of outline while maintaining a basic naturalism, Hiroshige has impressionistically caught the charm of the camellia blooming in snow. The inscribed Chinese poem quotes the first two lines of an ode by Po Lo-t'ien entitled "Inquiry of a Crane": The crow and kite fight over food. Sparrows quarrel over their place of rest. Lone crane standing on one leg, All day long at the pond's edge, Buffeted by wind and snow, feathers frozen, How can you stand so still, so silent? If one insists on seeing a relationship between the verse and the picture, perhaps the sparrows are quarreling over the nest. However, there is often little connection between verse and picture in bird-and-flower prints. The date of issue is about 1832. Unser Preis EUR 18,00(inkl.
