Description
Ohara Koson's 'Snow on Willow Bridge' is regarded as his best landscape print, and is one of the most famous Shin hanga prints. Two women walk through snow over the Willow Bridge, with the Ryogoku bridge in the background.
Condition notes
The print is in very good state. There is very mild matburn around the edge of the margins, and on the back remnants of a previous mounting remain. Unlike with many copies of this design, the colors have been retained very well.
