First Edition: 100 Views of Edo Artist: Hiroshige I Format: Oban tate-e: 14" x 9.5" Subject: 'The Armor-Hanging Pine, Hakkeizaka'. The Pine-lined Tokaido highway passes in the distance along the bay, situated well to the south, beyond Shinagawa at the Edo city limit, which is seen as a small settlement jutting out into Edo Bay on the middle left. Beyond Shinagawa, we can make out the form of the city itself, surmounted by the Nikko Mountains, and the to its right the low silhouette of the Chiba Peninsula. The centre of attraction is the grand but oddly shaped pine-tree, the 'Armor-Hanging Pine' of the title. Legend has it that the warrior Minamoto Yoshiie stopped by here to rest on his way north to subjugate the Abe clan, and hung his armor on the tree. This is an early first edition printing with a plain yellow cartouche unlike most other designs from the series whiche have a three color cartouche of the first state of the first edition. First state first edition like this are exceedingly rare. An unidentified Japanese Collector's seal in red in margin above publisher's mark. Publisher: Uoya Eikichi Date: 5th Month 1856
