The fan prints are among the rarest of the engraved works of Hiroshige (1797-1858), the last great Japanese illustrator of the Edo period. Intended to decorate an everyday accessory made of bamboo, these sublime ephemeral engravings cover a wide range of themes: famous sites in Edo and the provinces of Japan, female portraits, scenes from kabuki theatre, humorous parodies and compositions of flowers and birds. The Georges Leskowicz Foundation has one of the most important collections of these fan leaves, with about one hundred and twenty pieces, a third of which are unique. Reproduced for the first time, these works are accompanied by comments and put into perspective in the history of fan printing in Japan.
