The beautiful woodblock print "Fuji Jū-Nikei no Uchi, Enoshima Iwaya" (Grotto at Enoshima, from Twelve Views of Mt. Fuji) is by Hiroshige Ando (1797–1858). The print captures a wonderful seascape with the famous grotto at Enoshima and the majestic Mt. Fuji in the background. The grotto is located in the deepest part of Enoshima. In ancient times, it is said that Kobo Daishi and Nichiren Shonin practiced here, and it is revered as the birthplace of the Enoshima faith.
The title "Grotto at Enoshima", "Hiroshige" red seal, and embossed seal are in the right of the image. When Hiroshige was in his late 50s, he drew this series (Twelve Views of Mt. Fuji). They were originally sketchbooks/picture albums of hand-painting. They are very delicate, and the subtle colors are beautiful. This woodblock print is a high-quality Fukkoku Mokuhan (reproduction woodblock print) by Yoshio Kawazura (1880–1963). Printed in Taisho 14 (1925). This is rarely on the market. It is still tipped on the original folder.
