Framed Sparrows and Poppies Hiroshige Woodblock Print

✦ Why We Love It

雀よ、舞え / Suzume yo, mae / O sparrows, dance

The Framed Sparrows and Poppies Hiroshige Woodblock Print is a stunning authentic Japanese woodblock print — three sparrows hover above a delicate stem of red, pink, and white poppies in Hiroshige’s signature style. Handmade in Japan using the same traditional printing techniques as the original, the depth and richness of colour is extraordinary. Presented in a gloss black frame with cream double mount, this is a truly special piece of Japanese art.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) is considered the last great master of ukiyo-e. Alongside his celebrated landscape series, Hiroshige created exquisite kachō-ga (花鳥画) — bird and flower prints — that captured the natural world with extraordinary delicacy and precision. The tanzaku format of this print, tall and narrow like a traditional Japanese poem card, was a favourite for kachō-ga compositions, allowing the artist to draw the eye upward through the image — from flower to branch to bird to sky. This print is a masterclass in that tradition.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a print. You are bringing home a piece of Japan’s artistic and natural heritage — and one of the great images of the ukiyo-e tradition.
