Ishiyakushi 1841 - 1842

"Ishiyakushi" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created between 1841 and 1842. This ukiyo-e print, depicting travelers on a snowy mountain path with a lone pine tree, is characteristic of Hiroshige's later style known as "landscape ukiyo-e". The detailed depiction of the falling snow, the composition's focus on natural elements, and the use of muted colors creates a tranquil and atmospheric scene, typical of Hiroshige's masterful landscape prints.
