Nissaka c. 1840 - 1842

"Nissaka" is a woodblock print created by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige in the early 19th century. This print depicts a scene of porters carrying large boxes along a winding path near a small settlement. The use of vivid colors and meticulous detail, characteristic of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e style, captures the beauty and daily life of Edo-period Japan. The print offers a glimpse into the bustling trade routes and the hard work of the people who transported goods throughout the country.
