"Mishima" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige between 1841 and 1842. It depicts a tranquil scene of a rural village nestled amidst lush greenery, with a group of travelers making their way along a winding path. The composition is characterized by delicate lines and vibrant colors, creating a harmonious balance between the natural and the human elements. The print is a fine example of Hiroshige's masterful ability to capture the beauty of the Japanese landscape, showcasing his signature style of detailed observation and meticulous craftsmanship.
