Notes

Clark 1992

The postscript to the album by one 'Houdo shujin', dated October 1892, explains that his father had been fond of painting and had studied with Hiroshige and that he had found these sheets of paintings by the master preserved at the bottom of a chest and had them bound into an album. Though unsigned, the ten abbreviated sketches are certainly in Hiroshige's most convivial style, and other versions of several of the compositions bearing a Hiroshige seal are in the collections of the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (Freer Gallery of Art (eds), 'The Freer Gallery of Art II: Japan', Tokyo, Kodansha, n.d. (?1972), no. 66) and Library of Congress (Lee 1984, vol. II, pls 4, 11, 19), confirming the attribution. It was customary for teachers to make copies, often unsigned, of previously worked-out compositions for pupils to use as study material ('tehon'). The ten subjects in the album are:

1 Sambaso dancer. 2 Man dreaming of pleasure quarters. 3 (?)Chinese with an elephant in a procession. 4 Iwafuji striking Onoe with the sandal, from the Kabuki play 'Kagamiyama kokyo no nishiki-e' (illustrated). 5 Shinto priest dancing. 6 Woman with a parcel walking past a large lantern in the street. (?)Ohatsu, the faithful maid. 7 Sukeroku with his umbrella, seen from behind. 8 Blossoming cherry trees on riverbank. 9 The Third Princess's cat running out from under a blind. 10 Bust portrait of a courtesan as Daruma.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
