Hiroshige III Japanese Woodblock Print Sudden Shower Akasaka Meiji Ukiyo-e

This original Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print by Hiroshige III dates to the Meiji period and is titled “Sudden Shower on Nawate Road, Akasaka.” It depicts travelers hurrying along a pine-lined roadside in heavy rain, with a rickshaw and distant rooftops fading into the gray sky. An Asakusa Namikiyama Seihan edition, the design is especially notable for its dramatic slanting rain lines across the composition. Condition shows overall toning and spotting/foxing, with minor edge wear and small tears at the margins; please review the photos carefully for exact condition.
