Numazu 1855

"Numazu" is a woodblock print created in 1855 by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. This piece showcases Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, capturing the tranquil beauty of a snow-covered landscape. The print depicts a scene of quietude, with a small bridge leading across a serene river. In the background, the iconic Mount Fuji rises majestically, its snow-capped peak disappearing into the hazy sky. Two figures traverse the bridge, their small forms adding a sense of scale and human presence to the expansive, serene landscape.
