112. Atagoshita and Yabu Lane 1857

"112. Atagoshita and Yabu Lane" is a woodblock print created by the celebrated Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige in 1857. The artwork captures a serene winter scene along the Atagoshita and Yabu Lane, featuring snow-covered buildings, a winding stream, and a group of figures walking through the snowy landscape. This print, part of Hiroshige's famous "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, is renowned for its delicate details, vibrant colors, and its ability to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility. The scene, featuring a wintery landscape with snow, is an example of "fukinuki-yatai," a technique where parts of the buildings are left unfinished to give the impression of a broader view.
