Could be, but above the castle in the pic it says 大木戸 Ookido... so... at Takanawa by the sea?

[paul alex]

What do you think of this beauty piers

[Bugyotsuji]

Wow, beautifully framed!

[paul alex]

Thanks piers I'm trying to use a bit of colour in my mounts to get away from cremes and beige 

[Bugyotsuji]

Nice! Funnily enough, I've just been framing ukiyo-e this week.

Oh, sure, maybe tomorrow when the light is better!  (I had some old frames, and a folder full of Ukiyoe, so thought I’d have some fun. )

[paul alex]

Nice I'm looking forward to that

[Bugyotsuji]

All of these look better without glass! 
The first one fell down the back of a chest as I was hanging it, so it needs redoing…  Amateur night!

Very nice I've got my eye on few pieces like this at the moment.i still make my fare share of mistakes here's one I messed up 

[Bugyotsuji]

You are forgiven!!! 

 

I have several loose, as yet unframed triptychs, but I like the way you have left margins between and not attempted to join up your 'beauty' set above.

[paul alex]

Yes I think they look better with the boarders.i had to buy a proper mount cutter I was trying to cut them free hand I can do singles but three is a bit much

WOWWW! How did these Edo Period ukiyo-e artists achieve that incredible silhouette effect?

 

[Bugyotsuji]

Glass reflections, yes, we can show more of those!

I envy you Piers, as probably you can still obtain nice woodblock prints at reasonable prices in Japan. I did have a few years ago, but alas they were destroyed in a fire along with my library. 

There used to be a shop in Camden Passage in London that sold prints, and where I bought a few. Unfortunately the lady who owned the shop was from Nagasaki, and wouldn't have anything sword related in the shop.

 

Nice frames gents! Well done!
