This is a reproduction print of Odawara Station (小田原宿), the 9th station along the Tokaido, made by Hiroshige Utagawa in 1833-1834. It appears in Hiroshige's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (東海道五十三次) collection.
Each piece is printed on demand. Various options of paper and sizes can be selected, but the standard option is printed using archival-quality inks on archival-quality Awagami Kozo Thick White, in A4 size. With this print at this size, our top-of-the-line commercial inkjet printer prints at around 600 dpi, with A3+ being around 350 dpi and A2 being about 280 dpi.
The Awagami Bizan papers have deckled edges, so printing options are limited. Awagami Bizan Handmade Thick 300gsm washi is unavailable in A4. When selecting Aiban and Oban sizes, these papers are printed in those sizes but on A3+ (13" x 19") paper, so there will be large, white borders.
The colors have been modified to bring back some vibrancy, so these appear more like they did back when they were originally printed in the 1800s. Small amounts of editing may be done on these prints to remove damages that have appeared over the decades, but our goal is to share a broad range of prints true to how they looked when first printed.
No frame is included. The frames in the images are for illustrative purposes only. If you frame this print, please use a cover that protects against UV rays.
A sheet of archival tissue paper is placed on top of each print for protection. Please store your prints with these archival tissue papers in order to protect each print and increase longevity.
