Dear Sarah, Thank you for choosing Mearto with your online appraisal. Considering the images and available information, this item is: A woodblock print in the ukiyo-e genre, entitled "Sudden Showen over Shin-Ohashi bridge and Atake" by Utagawa Hirosige. It was first published in 1857 as part of the Series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo". The print shows a small part of the wooden Shin-Ōhashi (New Great) bridge over the Sumida River. A boatman punts his log raft towards the Fukagawa timber yards, and in the background, at the far bank of the river, is a part of Edo known as Atake after the government ship, the Atakemaru (ja:安宅丸) that was moored there. Good condition. Retail prices may vary.
