De elegante prins Genji te Suma 1853

"De elegante prins Genji te Suma" is a woodblock print by the famous Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The artwork portrays a scene from the classic Japanese novel "The Tale of Genji", depicting a character from the novel on a wooden platform overlooking a serene landscape of a bay and mountains. The print uses a variety of colors and patterns to depict the character's ornate clothing and the surrounding environment, reflecting Hiroshige's masterful use of woodblock printing techniques. This print is a prime example of ukiyo-e art, a genre of Japanese art that depicts everyday life, and is now held in the Rijksmuseum.
