Hiroshige produced an estimated 8,000 designs over his 40-year career, making him one of the most prolific masters of ukiyo-e. His market has strengthened significantly in recent years, with the 2025 Sotheby's Paris record of $2.4M and growing international collector interest.
A scarlet macaw perches on a pine branch in this small otanzaku-format print from around 1835. The exotic bird — a species native to the Americas, not Japan — was familiar to Edo audiences through import trade and the collections of daimyo who kept unusual animals. Hiroshige renders the macaw's vivid plumage with close attention, the red and blue feathers contrasting with the dark pine bark.
Macaw on a pine branch was created by Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川広重) in c. 1835.
Macaw on a pine branch depicts birds & flowers, trees, and animals.
