Comment Woodcut Evening Shower at Atake and the Great Bridge (1857) by Hiroshige (1797-1858), considered as one of the outstanding figures of Japanese woodblock printing. The drawing has some flaws, but is very well executed and I find it very expressive.

Oppose I like the image, but resolution and sharpness are not good enough for me. --startaq 08:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose It's a great painting but what or who are we featuring ? Ichiyusai Hiroshige, the painter ? Uoya Eikichi, the publisher? visipix.com, the website ? For me, it makes no sense featuring pictures just picked off. Though, I feel opposed to the other oppositions : 1) it is a wood painting so low resolution is due to the painting process and 2) why the hell 2 megapixels would be a fatal barrier ("should" is not "must")--B.navez 14:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I admit that the picture hasn't a very high resolution quality but it's a woodcut of 1857, not a modern picture made with the last digital camera with 10 megapixels. And of course, I propose to vote for the painting itself, not Hiroshige or the publisher or visipix.com (what interest?). But maybe Commons doesn't feature old paintings, but just actual and original works ? As I am a french-speaker, I hope you'll understand my poor english. Kuxu76 22:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
