"No. Ejiri" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created between 1847 and 1852. This print is part of his famous "Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" series, depicting the journey from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. The scene features a small bridge over a river, with people crossing in the midst of a heavy downpour. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and detail brings the rain-soaked landscape to life, highlighting the tranquility and beauty of the scene even in inclement weather. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's ability to capture the essence of Japanese nature and the beauty of the everyday.
