Leaflet slightly bumped at the lower edge in the fold, art print very good. Text in Japanese and English. - Chu-tanzaku - (Unregistered) - Beginning about the same time as his designs for o-tanzaku bird- and-flower subjects, but continuing over a longer span of years, Hiroshige designed at least fifty-seven bird-and-flower prints in the chu-tanzaku format which were published either by Kawaguchi Shbzo or Fujioka Hikotaro. "Wisteria and Titmouse" is one of those published by the Kawaguchiya. Later, around 1850, Hiroshige wrote in an essay entitled Ehon Tebikigusa (Illustrated Hints on Drawing), " Pictures derive from the shape of objects. Thus a picture is created when the artist's brush interpretation is added to drawing faithful to nature." This attitude toward painting is well illustrated by "Wisteria and Titmouse.
