-Harima--Maiko Beach- Possibly 1853

"Harima--Maiko Beach-" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, possibly from 1853. The print depicts a tranquil beach scene in Japan, dominated by a line of pine trees along the shoreline. The artist's characteristic use of vivid colors and detailed brushwork creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the beauty of the landscape. This woodblock print, a vertical ōban measuring 13 1/2 × 9 in. (34.3 × 22.9 cm), exemplifies Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which often depicted landscapes and scenes from daily life in Edo-period Japan.
