Beautiful Hiroshige print showing the Oji Inari Shrine at dusk, the horizon still red from the setting sun. Men and women visit the shrine from the teahouses below. Mount Tsukuba rises in the distance past the rice paddies that are still empty. Wonderful early spring print.

This piece is elegantly matted in cream with a beige half-inch inner border. The flat-profile frame is about an inch thick and is a deep mahogany with a visible grain.
