“Hiroshige’s Edo,” from the series: A Hundred Shades of Ink of Edo

Not on view
Binnie’s provocative print shows the same model, Akiko, who was his muse for the earlier Veranda series (2004). Tattoos on her upper torso incorporate imagery from two of Hiroshige’s most famous prints: the soaring hawk from “Jūmantsubo Plain at Fukagawa Susaki,” and “Downpour over Ōhashi Bridge,” both from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The edge of her slip includes “Plum Garden,” from the same series, which had inspired Van Gogh.
