Fuji Seen from the Left on the Tōkaidō Possibly 1858

"Fuji Seen from the Left on the Tōkaidō" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Created sometime in 1858, just a few months before his death, this artwork is part of his series "Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" which depicts the journey along the Tōkaidō Road, one of Japan's most important trade routes. The print portrays Mount Fuji, a sacred mountain in Japanese culture, viewed from the left as it is framed by a large pine tree in the foreground. The composition, which emphasizes the mountain's imposing presence, is characteristic of Hiroshige's style, known for its delicate use of color and precise details.
