Hiroshige Playing Cards

One of the last great masters of Edo-period ukiyo-e painting and printmaking, Utagawa Hiroshige created some of his most influential works during the final decade of his life. His art honours the past and the present, the timeless and the ephemeral, in landscapes, seascapes and scenes of daily life. His extraordinary woodblock print series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo ranks among the greatest achievements of Japanese art, expressing the culture and spirit of Edo through the seasons.

A standard 52-card deck plus two jokers, each card carrying a different print, presented in a sturdy box.
