Postcard from Japan!

Today I got a cool postcard from Japan! The postcard shows the painting called "One Hundred Celebrated Places of Edo-Shower at Ohasi Bridge." It was made by the artist Utagawa Hiroshige in the Edo Period. Hiroshige was a ukiyo-e artist and is widely considered to be the last of the great masters of that style of painting. After his death, there was a decline in the traditional art. This particular painting is housed in the Tokyo National Museum. The card was sent by my dad who was on vacation in Japan. Thanks dad!
