Ochanomizu c. 1837 - 1838

"Ochanomizu" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created between 1837 and 1838. This "chūtanzaku" (medium-sized vertical format) print depicts a scene of Ochanomizu, a location in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) that is famous for its bridge. The print showcases a vibrant view of the river with boats, the Ochanomizu Bridge, and Mount Fuji in the background. Hiroshige's mastery of color and detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the natural landscape and the lively movement of the boats. This artwork is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in capturing the beauty of Edo and its surrounding areas.
