Wood Block Print The First Hiroshige's "Ten Views Of Kyoto"
Series of ten woodblock prints by Hiroshige called "Ten Views of Kyoto." These prints are in their original portfolio which says they were engraved and printed by Uchida Woodblock Printer in Kyoto, Japan in March 1951.
These prints were purchased by my father in the early 1950s when on a tour of duty in Japan as a U.S. Navy officer. They have never been exhibited.

Delia,
Quick question. Is your estimate for a single print from my series of ten images or is it for all ten images?
Wayne Jackson
It's for the set. It's not a very old printing and there are a lot of these prints on the market, so the value is relatively modest. If these were 19th Century, the value would be quite a bit higher
Delia,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Each print in this series is 15 inches wide by 10 inches high. I also have the original portfolio the set is contained in.
