Another Belated Happy Birthday, Sandy

Here's an Edo snow bunny -

Hiroshige_TheSnowyGardn_cleveland_1854
(from series: Triptych_Elegant Pirnce Genji)
source: http://www.clevelandart.org/explore/searchlist.asp?searchText=Hiroshige&display=list
-- click on second thumbnail that says Ando Hiroshige II 1797 - 1858
-- scroll down to bottom of page and click on next 20
-scroll down and click on: The Snowy Garden (from the series Prince Genji of the East)

For anyone interested in garden design, this website allows you to study an Edo garden in the snow in detail, by clicking on "View this image in detail".

-----------------------

In Edo Japan, woodcut artists made prints of birds/animals and flowers/plants that they called kachoga. For morning glories and birds, Hiroshige did a pillar (narrow and tall) kachoga and a larger rectangular kachoga that y'all should keep an eye out for - I can't find links to what I have now.

But this site - http://www.hiroshige.org.uk/ - does have the following 2 others to give you an idea of what Hiroshige did; although, the morning glories especially shine in the larger rectangular kachoga mentioned above.
