Hiroshige’s “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo: Tanabata Star Festival in a Bustling Town”
Today’s photo was taken in the Tokyo National Museum. Hiroshige is one of my favorite artists. To see his originals is a thrill for me. Tanabata is celebrated in Japan today.

He is also one of my favorite artists. I have got a really nice book with art from him, this one:

If you haven’t got it already, I can highly recommend it! Especially for that low price, originally it was much more expensive.
