"No. 39" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige from his "Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series. The print depicts a view of the Kisokaido road, a historical route in Japan. Travelers cross a bridge over a rushing river, while a cascading waterfall dominates the left side of the composition. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and detail creates a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to experience the beauty of the Japanese landscape. This ōban print, a larger format favored by Hiroshige, is a captivating example of his signature style and artistic skill.
