Classic Japanese ukiyo-e landscape imagery featuring Mount Fuji overlooking a blue bay with sailing boats, framed in a sleek black square frame. The art is mounted on a notably thick backing (approx. 0.25") with a subtle speckled-gold effect, giving it extra presence and a slightly dimensional, decorative look. A great piece for Japandi, mid-century, or traditional Asian-inspired interiors, and an easy wall-ready size at 13" x 13".
Materials: Printed artwork on thick mounted board (approx. 1/4"); black frame (likely composite/wood); clear front (glass or acrylic); paper backing
Style: Ukiyo-e / Japanese woodblock print style; minimalist traditional Japanese landscape; gallery-framed décor
Theme: Japan / Mount Fuji / coastal seascape / travel & Tōkaidō road / Edo-period-inspired art
Age: Likely a later decorative reproduction (20th century or newer). Exact age/edition can’t be confirmed without examining the print out of the frame.
Brand/Maker: After Utagawa (Andō) Hiroshige (image includes Hiroshige-style signature and publisher marks as part of the design)
Country Made In: Japan (artwork subject/printing tradition is Japanese; actual manufacture of this framed piece is unconfirmed without a label on the back)
Size: 13 in x 13 in (framed)
Condition: Good overall vintage/used condition. Light handling wear may be present on frame and backing; artwork shows typical minor age/handling signs, but presents well (see photos).
